In this isolated, windy region of the Peruvian coast (180 miles south of Lima) flourished the remarkable pre Inca culture of the Nazca. Nazca is located in the city of Ica, in the South of Peru, where we have the famous Nazca Lines.
The Lines cover a surface of more than 500 square km. in the desert between Palpa, Nazca and Pampa Colorada. The Nazca Lines, carved by this culture into the earth’s surface, are only clearly visible from the air and represent a variety of different figures: a bird, a monkey, a spider and geometrical lines.
The reasons for these carvings are still unknown, but are believed by some to be attempts at communication with other planets. |
