The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert of southern Peru. The Nazca Lines were created between 500 BCE and 500 CE by the Nazca culture, and were rediscovered in modern times in the 1920s. The geoglyphs are made up of over 800 straight lines and shapes, including animals, plants, and geometric patterns, covering an area of about 450 square kilometers. The lines are believed to have been created by removing the reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles that cover the surface of the Nazca desert, exposing the light-colored clay underneath. The purpose and meaning behind the Nazca Lines remains a mystery, but many theories suggest they may have been created for astronomical or religious reasons. The Nazca Lines were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
