StammerheadFrom the article : Johny Isla, Peru's chief archaeologist for the Nazca lines, told Efe news agency that the cat pre-dates the Nazca culture - which created most of the figures from 200 to 700 AD. The cat, he said, was actually from the late Paracas era, which was from 500 BC to 200 AD.
Early work in a possibly new medium are going to be a bit rougher than later ones . PLUS it's on a hillside - the later Nazca images are on the flat. PLUS stone tools on solid ground .... in pre-historic Peru ! Pretty amazing !

Perhaps it was a recreation of an original smaller drawing the child did and the father and uncles went up on the hill and drew it bigger in the dirt because the child had been abducted by aliens. Hint: A child actually didn't draw it. He might have. Sources say his name was Billy age 6.

And you should see the cartoons I drew when I was a kid. I found some of them a few months ago and they are awful.
