Nasca Lines – The Sacred Landscape
The lines are known as geoglyphs – drawings on the ground made by removing rocks and earth to create a “negative” image. The rocks which cover the desert have oxidized and weathered to a deep rust color, and when the top 12-15 inches of rock is removed, a light-colored, high contrasting sand is exposed. Because there’s so little rain, wind and erosion, the exposed designs have stayed largely intact for 500 to 2000 years.
Scientists believe that the majority of lines were made by the Nasca people who flourished from around A.D. 1 to 700. Certain areas of the pampa look like a well-used chalk board, with lines overlapping other lines, and designs cut through with straight lines of both ancient and more modern origin.

Nasca Lines
The Nazca Lines, in southern Peru, are a group of pre-Columbian geoglyphs that extend into the desert sands. They cover an area of almost 1,000 square kilometers and there are around 300 different figures, which include animals and plants. They are composed of more than 10,000 lines, some of them 30 meters wide and more than 9 kilometers long. It is easier to see the figures from the air or from nearby mountains.
