Aha! I may have just figured out the meaning of those beautiful and mysterious “Nazca Line” geoglyphs carved in the deserts of Peru (ca. 500 B.C. - 500 A.D.) They are an early form of iNaturalist!
This user identifed their observation as Order Araneae, but they’re still waiting for a specialist to ID it further. (and you thought your observations were taking a long time to reach RG?)
And this user made an observation they identified as Family Trochilidae, but not every identifier agrees it’s even a hummingbird, and some lively discussions have ensued.
There has also been a heated debate as to whether or not geoglyphs really count as “evidence” at all, much like our own forum topic:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/are-drawings-evidence/8595
So some zealous identifier has been marking them all as “Human.”
(But fortunately, then, as now, the rules do indeed permit drawings.)
And then there is the further problem that these and all similar observations have been down-voted in the DQA for “date is accurate”, thus banishing them to the limbo of “Casual” observations, and making it even less likely the specialist Identifiers will ever see them…
