The Nazca Lines are gigantic drawings etched on the desert floor more than two thousand years ago, images so huge barely visible by air. Found in the heart of the Ica desert of southern Peru, 280 miles south from Lima, They lie at the edge of the western Andes at 2000 feet above sea level.
They were only first discovered in the 1920s, when comercial flights began flying over this part of Perú, and pilots began reporting strange drawings on the desert below and since then the mistery of the lines have captured the minds of the world.
The desert formed an enormous drawing board upon which the Nazca's artists etched huge lines, trapazoids, and animal figures by removing the dark colored surface stones and top soil to expose the lighter colored sand underneath.
Archaeologists and others have been trying to understand how and why these lines were formed. Anything from ancient foot race paths, and ceremonial walking, to alien runway’s have been suggested for the reason of the lines existence.
In 1994 the lines were declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
