Nazca Lines In The Peruvian Desert
One of the greatest unsolved natural mysteries all over the world is Nazca Lines. They are a series of enormous ancient biomorphs and geoglyphs in the Peruvian Desert. There are many trapezoidal zones, strange symbols, and pictures of animals that are etched on a giant scale from the sky. Next, the figures which are very large and long are from 100ft to 935ft in the blocks of rocks. Moreover, they can not only be appreciated by archaeologist and scientist, they also were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Besides, the biomorphs have about 70 animals and plant figures such as a monkey, a killer whale, a bird, a 1,000-foot-long pelican, a condor, and a heron. They are grouped together in one area on the plain. However, they were
believed to have been constructed around 200 BC, about 500 years before the geoglyphs. In addition to geoglyphs, they have 900 figures on the plain and are geometric forms that consist of straight lines, triangles, spirals, circles and trapezoids. Their size is huge. Nowadays, some 700 geoglyphs are thought to have been drawn by the ancient Nazca people between the first and sixth centuries. The Nazca Lines are believed to be drawn from lighter coloured strata which contrast with darker gravels on the plain.
