ナスカの地上絵を、祖国から離れてでも守ろうとする女性の話です。
宜しくお願いします！
Maria Reiche was born on May 15,1903,in Dresden,German.
She graduated from the Dresden Technical University,whereshe studied mathematics,geography,and foreign languages.
In 1932,Maria was a 29-year-old unmarried woman who was not happy with the political mood in Germany,especially with the rise of the Nazi party and a frightening leader named Adolf Hitler.
She looked for any possible way to leave her country.
One day,Maria found an ad in the newspaper asking for a woman to work as a nanny and a teacher for two children of a German consul living in Cusco,Peru.
Soon after she applied for the job,she was hired.
So off she sailed,full of hope for a better future.
Maria loved the Andean mountains and enjoyed her years working with the two children in the ancient Inca capital of Cusco.
At this time she had not even heard about the Lines of Nazca.
In 1939,Maria was teaching in Lima,the capital of Peru, and doing scientific translations.
By then ,Germany was already at war in Europe, so she didn't want to go back to her country.
Then Maria heard from an American scientist in Lima about the mysterious Lines and Figures of Nazca,which he had recently seen from an airplane .
She was interested enough to take a flight herself in a small plane over the Nazca desert(pampa) .
When she saw the figures from the airplane of the spider, the hummingbird and the monkey ,she was so fascinated by them that she moved to Nazca to study the Lines herself.Maria Ruiche made many flights by plane and helicopter ,taking photographs of the many lines and figures on the pampa.
She was especially drawn to the image of the monkey, but when she enlarged the photos she had taken, she was amazed to see that one hand had only four fingers...just like her.
When she first came to Peru , one finger was amputated after it developed gangrene from a cactus infection.
She then learned that Peruvian ancestors believed that this was a mark from the God of Thunder, which gave special power to communicate with the gods.
For the next 40years, Maria lived alone on the pampa in a tiny one-room house , just to study and guard the mysterious Lines of Nazca/
One of the biggest threats to preserving the Lines was the Pan American Highway that cut across the pampa, slicing the picture of the long , crocodile-looking lizard in half.
After Maria published a few articles about the Lines , more and more people started coming to Nazca so they could go out on the pampa to see the figures and lines for themselves.
Maria persuaded the government of Peru to make the pampa a restricted area,so no one could walk on the desert except her assistant and herself.
She was given many honors by the Peruvian government before she died, including Honorary Citizen of Peru and the title of Great Lady of Nazca.
Everyone in the town of Nazca had grown to love and respect this woman who had come from far away to reveal to them the secrets of their ancestors , secrets that had been hidden out in plain sight for two thousand years.
お礼
ご回答ありがとうございます。 勝手に読み間違えて、ムムッこれには深い意味があるに違いない、、、と思いつつ、、どんなご回答がくるのだろうと、不安と期待を抱きつつドキドキしていました。 ＞「彼女は元は女の人間だったんだが、愛してくれた者とどうしても契りを交そうとしないが為に、魚に変えられたんだ」 こういう事だったんですね、「下品な質問、、、ナンタラコンタラ」と大汗をかきつつ質問した自分がバカみたいです。 ところで、気が付けば入会してから３年近く経っています。 尊敬していた方々がドンドン消えていく中、回答者様はまだ健在なんですね。 尊敬＆応援してます。 本当にご回答ありがとうございました。
