The Nazca lines are a group of over 700 geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created between 500 BC and 500 AD by people making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving different-colored dirt exposed. The Nazca Lines were slowly revealed, piece by piece, as technology and curiosity caught up with what the desert had been quietly holding for centuries.
From above, the desert revealed something completely unexpected—huge shapes of animals, geometric lines, and spirals etched into the ground, some stretching for hundreds of meters.

The mystery fueled decades of research Theories have evolved over time. Some say the lines had astronomical significance. Others think they were ceremonial routes or offerings to gods. No one knows for sure, but that’s part of what keeps people fascinated.
