World Heritage Site
The Nazca Lines have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, recognizing their historical and cultural significance.
Ancient Enigma
The Nazca Lines are a collection of massive geoglyphs etched into the desert floor in Peru.
They remain a mystery, as their purpose and the methods used to create them are still debated among researchers.
Precision and Scale
The Nazca Lines cover an area of about 450 square kilometers (175 square miles) and feature over 800 individual figures, including animals, plants, and geometric shapes. Some of these figures are as large as 1,200 feet (370 meters) long.
Precision Artistry
The Nazca Lines were created by removing the reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles that cover the surface of the Nazca desert, revealing the lighter-colored earth underneath.
The precision and accuracy of their shapes, considering their enormous size, have intrigued experts for decades.
Best Seen from Above
The best way to appreciate the Nazca Lines is from the air.
Their large-scale designs are fully visible only when viewed from a higher vantage point, which has led to various theories about their purpose, including astronomical alignments and religious ceremonies.
Mystery and Theories
The Nazca Lines’ purpose remains a subject of speculation.
Some theories suggest they served as an astronomical calendar, a way to communicate with gods, or even as pathways for ceremonial processions.
Age and Origins
The Nazca Lines are believed to have been created between 500 BC and 500 AD by the Nazca civilization, a pre-Inca culture that inhabited the region.
The dry climate of the area has contributed to the preservation of these ancient markings.
