I added the connection. It's important for people to note these connections, that Paracas culture was the precedent for the Nazca culture to develop. I am a college student student at Washington University currently studying mesoamerican culture. Thank you! |

Lack of Information
I have done several searches via the web, and i haven't found much information on this civilization. I know they are unknown to most people, but maybe somoene could point me in the right direction to acquire info on them. On my searches there is a serious lack of information, and on some websites the civilization itself is over shadowed by the archeologists there.
- re: "Lack of Information" - there also seems to be a lot of fictional accounting of just who the Pracas people are based on my own Google search, especially when it covers their mummies. I've noticed a strong current of White Nationalism utilizing unproven claims that it was an ancient band of Europeans who founded cultures outside of Europe (ie - Clovis points via the Solutreans, Paracas being the technological forebearers of Andean civilizations from Nazca to the Inca, as well as the "white" Quetzacoatl actually being an ancient European who taught the Olmec/Maya/Toltec's everything, and most notably the Tocharians and their Red/Blond mummies being responsible for ushering in the Bronze Age and Writing to the Chinese). Until the official Govt. reserachers studying the cultural artifacts, as well as the mummies, in Paracas release their findings I thinks we should wait and see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.179.153.163 (talk) 17:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Is the Childress, Navarro & Foerster claim actual science?
I'm a bit sceptical about citing a book published by a company, Adventures Unlimited Press, which according to its own website specialises in:
- "Atlantic Studies, Alternative Health, Alternative Science, Ancient Science, Anti-Gravity, Conspiracy & History, Cryptozoology, Egypt & the Pyramids, Free Engery Systems, Geometry & Math, Holy Grail & Templar Studies, Lost Cities Series, Mysterious Phenomena, Mystic Travelers Series, Native American Studies, Philosophy & Religion, Strange Science, Tesla Technology, UFO's & Extraterrestrial and more." [[1]]
Is there anything published in more reputable sources which confirm the claims? If nothing else, it needs some improved references.
- I've posted this question on the talk page of Artificial cranial deformation as well, so please visit that for comments.
- ADDENDUM
- I've just realised that the Childress of the above mentioned book is the same David Hatcher Childress featured in the "Ancient Astronauts" series. Looking over his publications, this does not bode well for using him as a source.

- Agreed. Childress work, especially published by his own company, are not reliable sources, and the general tone of the material was a problem with undue weight granted to a fringe viewpoint. Accordingly, I've cut the passage that refers to artificial cranial deformation in Paracas culture; it's possible that real science has been done on the topic, and if so, there's a place for that. But what was here isn't it. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
- WRONG.. Volume of some skulls are clearly bigger than a normal one. It should be mentioned, not deleted --83.33.144.86 (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
