Jim Woodman, Nazca Journey to the Sun, 1977.

“What Kon-Tiki uncovered about man’s mastery of the sea, Nazca now reveals about man’s conquest of the air.”

“The Nazca lines and designs have been separated from the ancient people who created them by various authors who have sought to put our own modern mindset on their creations. It can be difficult for someone today to understand why the ancient Nazca would put such time and energy into creating these lines on the ground, especially someone that does not make any attempt to study the Nazca and their environment.

One of the authors who has attempted to put a modern thought pattern onto this ancient creation is Jim Woodman in his book Nazca: Journey to the Sun. Woodman argues that the ancient Nazca could have flown, and that they did this using hot-air smoke balloons.”
