No water? Shall we move, or make some lines in the desert?

I am always sceptical of ‘climate change’ models regarding the demise of certain civilisations or cultures. We live in a world where climate change is a fundamental issue and therefore it is in the forefront of our consciousness when asking the questions of how civilisations can be altered or destroyed.
While climate change is an ongoing part of life and planet earth, and happens much quicker than people often think, it isn’t always the reason for the end of a particular culture, and the evidence provided is somewhat loose and guessed at. It certainly cannot be the definitive reason for the demise of a culture for it is often the case that several issues occur at the same time. In Peru especially, it is not the reason to abandon an entire city for they were, and always will be, the world’s experts on the transportation of goods over land and on foot. If water sources dried up, they were engineering experts when it comes to channelling it from elsewhere or transporting it in to the city.
It’s a bit like the ridiculously accepted theory of the Nazca culture and the amazing Nazca lines which, I hasten to say, I have been fortunate enough to visit and I spent quite a bit of time in Nazca. The accepted theory is that the lines and geoglyphs are all a part of a ‘water cult’, because there was no water there, and the lines point to sources of water. Well, firstly, the Nazca did have water – they built aqueducts and there was water flowing underground, and they also lived in a fertile valley where their crops grew, which still do this day.
But let’s, for a second, assume they didn’t have sources of water. What would you do – would you sit there in the baking sun and then make lines that take months, if not years, to create, which point to sources of water, or would you pack up your pots and pans move a few miles inland to where there is plenty of water? Yep, that’s how stupid these so-called intelligent archaeologists can be! Any half-witted idiot can see that all you have to do is move somewhere else if you don’t have water. Therefore the Nazca lines have a completely different purpose. And how did we get to Nazca in the south from Caral, north of Lima? I don’t know, I just like to ramble sometimes…
