Actually it was little more than a side note in the book ... what Woodman went back to time after time were the Inca myths that he claimed showed that the Incas sent people off to the sun.....which is another reason I didn't address it. It should also be noted that even IF this story turns out to be true it has little or no effect on what happened at Nasca.
The closest any anthropologist or archaeologist that I talked to could come to balloons as a native tradition was that some people used smoke to send messages to their ancestors or gods.
