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.
