Nazca Lines

Drawn into a high plateau in Peru’s Nazca Desert, ancient designs (dating back to 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.) stretching more than 50 miles have astounded archaeologists for decades. Along with simple lines and geometric shapes, drawings of animals, birds, and humans have also been made, some measuring 600 feet across. The drawings can only be viewed and appreciated from way up in the air and there is no evidence that the Nazca people invented flying machines. Theories behind its usefulness range from them being used for an ancient form of flight to them pointing to an underground water source. Still, there isn’t any concrete consensus about the purpose of the lines.
