  The Nazca Lines are a series of large ancient geoglyphs etched into the desert plains of southern Peru. Created by the Nazca culture between 500 BCE and 500 CE, these lines are one of archaeology’s greatest mysteries. They cover an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers (around 400 square miles) and consist of straight lines, geometric shapes, and various zoomorphic figures, such as animals, birds, and plants.

This method has preserved the lines for centuries in the dry and windless climate. Purpose : The purpose of the Nazca Lines remains uncertain, but theories range from religious or astronomical significance to water-related rituals. Some suggest they ...
