Those are seperate features from the lines. Like saying the pyramids were used for irrigation because irrigation channels were found in the same area.

Reply to They fled persecution in Nazi Germany. Then the British put them behind barbed wire by lanzkron
it is a little known aspect of ww2 in britain that many people of italian/german...etc heritage were arrested and detained during the war.
it was called defense regulation 18B
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Regulation_18B
I incidentally found out that Darby Sabini was detained under this law. For anyone who is a fan of the TV show Peaky Blinders, he was the Italian mobster character from the first season.

Yeah you have to get on this teeny tiny plane and fly over it. I’ve been to Nazca twice.

Straight things are pretty easy to do for any even moderately advanced society: just stake each end and pull a length of rope between them.
But it was probably aliens. /s

Well that's interesting. With planes, we humans can see the ones on flat now. Wonder how long it would take us to convince them we're not gods if we met today...

Thanks for the info. Never knew it was propaganda; was just the name I heard for it growing up.

I love his biographies. I've got this one sitting in my TBR pile, but the one on Stanton and Seward were great.

You can still see them, just from the air. Better from that distance anyway.

Having seen them, they are spectacular and interesting, but there's a reason they tell you not to eat before your flight. Still recommend it though.

It makes sense she remembered how this was the end of jewish existence in Germany, and how cruel it actually was.
As Britannica mentions:
>This name symbolized the final shattering of Jewish existence in Germany. After Kristallnacht, the Nazi regime made Jewish survival in Germany impossible.
So its clear that the name Kristallnacht for years has been a haunting memory for everyone who experienced it, and want to use a more reasonable name that shows what it really was - a government pogrom against the jewish community.
I can’t even comprehend what she and her family went through, but that reaction shows it still hurts.
Btw: im sad to hear about the part of your family that stayed behind. Have they ever told anything about them? Their names, their professions or anything about them at all?
It’s so sad to see that families got shattered or completely destroyed. I mean, just look at Anne Franks family. A whole family killed except for the father.
