We are proud introducing the new Nazca Constellations Cylinder. There is not a scientific base to say "Nazca Figures are constellations" and, less even, that they reflect in ground a map of the sky. Only there are assumptions of some authors who propose that some of the above mentioned figures might be constellations; but even in the above mentioned case, there are no congruities between them to assign any figure to certain sets of stars. The Nazca s figures and lines of Nazca are one of the biggest puzzlers of the humankind and there are lot of theories about. This is just another possible interpretation. Do not exist other public works trying to fix all the principal figures in a star map, interpreting at all them as constellations. We have taken some indications proposed by different investigators like Maria Reiche and others, who have been identifying some of those figures with constellations. We have tried to identify to the remaining figures with different groups of stars, taking in mind their relative positions in Nazca s Plateau. Alejandro Pacha Vega.
