Introduction

The Nazca Lines are giant geoglyphs on the Nazca plateau of southern Peru, etched by the Nazca culture (c. 500 BC – 600 AD) into the arid desert — over 800 straight lines, geometric figures and biomorphic images like the hummingbird, spider, monkey and 'astronaut.' Their scale demands viewing from a small plane.
