The Nazca Lines

Alert: There is a black line going through my last post. I am still trying to figure out what happened...





The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru.

Contrary to the popular belief that the lines and figures can only be seen with the aid of flight, they are visible from the top of surrounding foothills.
Various interpretations on the lines have challenged scientists, archaeologists and anthropologists.
The general consensus is that the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca people themselves, without help from alien visitors or aerial views. The figures drawn in the desert correspond with images found in other examples of Nazca art, such as pottery.
