Ra on the Easter Island Heads and Nazca Lines

Most unfortunately Archaeology is also still in infancy, just like many other social sciences. Assumptions and modern cultural biases affect a lot of interpretations and findings.

For example up until mid 1990s it was accepted that an Egyptian female mummy having tattoos was a sign of low class origin of the person. As a result of social perceptions pertaining to tattoos in modern society. This is despite high status mummies like head priestesses of Hathor having sizable tattoos.

Only after the perception of tattoos changed in mid 90s, the truth that was staring in the face of Egyptologists all those years was accepted. Before that, it was heresy to propose otherwise.

Another good example is Pyramids.

Pyramids were supposed to have been developed over time, in order, all the way from early mastabah to the great pyramid.

But, for some reason, all the elaborate funeral implements, murals, decorations and architecture seen in all the other pyramids are not found in the great pyramid. There is one room we call king's room, and in it there is one casket in which khufu was put. The room is empty otherwise, and even if you propose that the room was emptied by grave robbers, the lack of any decoration, scripture to guide the spirit to after life, wall paintings to depict the life of the deceased who owns the pyramid are missing. Which would mean that anyone who was buried there would not be able to find his way to afterlife, which would be considered an unimaginable risk by Egyptians at that time.

Or, how Sphinx is supposed to be a few thousand years old as the great pyramid, but as have been proposed in a paper some years ago, its foundation shows the patterns of erosion from flooding rains, which could only have happened when Egypt was a rainforest zone some 10,000+ years ago.

And carbon dating accuracy is not 100%

Reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunung_Pad...ithic_Site, ancient period in Indonesia, some suggest could be 12000-20000 years old..
First carbon dating showed 4-5000 years but then much later dig and further tests found deeper that it ages way earlier than that or should I say later? A lot of ancient sites are built on top of other older ones, and this can happen multiple times as in this case..And perhaps with Easter Island too.
