Another very interesting stone shows a rather accurate depiction of some of the lines found on
the Nasca Plains (fig.21) even though the lines can only really be viewed from the air. It is
difficult to believe such an accurate carving could have been done by a village farmer.
Dr. Cabrera soon reasonably concluded that it simply was not possible that the farmer had
carved all the artifacts on his own, he simply did not have the time, the skills needed, or the
scientific and botanical knowledge required to create the stones. After some time and after
purchasing about 11,000 of the stones, the Doctor became a trusted friend of the farmer.
He eventually learned that the man was only released from prison once he had agreed to
present a signed confession stating that he was cheating the tourists. He had agreed to say that the
stones did not come from the hills but that he had actually carved them himself. It was either that
or go to prison for the remainder of his life for selling stolen antiquities.
