Why might the nazca have created images so huge that they could only be seen from the air?

One theory suggests the Nazca created large geoglyphs, or images, to communicate with deities or gods they believed resided in the sky. Another idea is that the images were part of rituals or ceremonies performed to ensure agricultural fertility or water supply in a region known for its arid climate. The scale of the images could have also served as markers for traveling or ceremonial purposes within the Nazca culture.

What are some of the art work of the native American Indian that would compare to prehistoric art?

There are petroglyphs (rock art) in Utah and other parts of North America that compare directly with cave art in France and other parts of Europe. This should not be considered surprising, since pre-contact native Americans throughout the Americas were living essentially Neolithic lifestyles. Rock art at McDonald Creek Canyon, Colorado may have been produced by the Ute or Paiute people and it is very similar to the cave paintings at Lascaux, France and to some Australian aboriginal work.
