The Nazca Lines: Etched into the arid Peruvian desert over 1,500 years ago, these vast geoglyphs depict animals, plants, and geometric shapes, visible only from the air. Created by removing surface stones to reveal lighter soil beneath, they span kilometers. Their purpose is unclear—whether for astronomical calendars, religious rituals, or water-related ceremonies. The precision and scale suggest sophisticated planning. Since the Nazca people lacked flight, the ability to design and view these figures remains puzzling. While mainstream theories emphasize ritual and cosmology, their exact function and cultural context continue to intrigue researchers and the public alike.
