"Ojo de dios"

I apologize for the lack of exciting updates (or the lack of any at all) but in my boredom I happened upon an interesting find. If you have never heard of the Nazca Lines then I suggest googling it and taking a look at the pictures there. An ancient culture in Peru dug shallow ditches into geometric shapes, lines, and stylized forms of humans and animals. Each geoglyph is so large that the picture they form can only be seen if one is standing on a high hill or from the sky. There have been many explanations as to why the people created this glyphs; one of which is that they were created so that the gods in the sky could see them. One theory that goes along with this is that the ancient people of Nazca believed that during a solar eclipse the "Eye of God" was watching them. Since I have never seen a total solar eclipse I decided to look for some images of one so that I could get a feel for what the Nazca people would have seen. I found several images that all looked very much like this:

Is this not the coolest? It really does look like a giant eye in the sky. This is I thought that this was so awesome that I could not resist putting in on my blog. I hope everyone enjoys the nerdiness of this post.
