Colossal Doodles or Messages to Heavenly Visitors? The Nazca Lines (Episode #30)

Mysterious Pals

The Nazca Lines, colossal geoglyphs, ranging from simple lines to intricate figures of geometric shapes, animals, and humanoids stretch across hundreds of square kilometers. Etched into the arid desert plains of southern Peru, they continue to mystify scholars and explorers alike. Yet, the true purpose and meaning behind these ancient drawings remain shrouded in mystery. Why were they created? How were they made with such precision? And what significance did they hold for the ancient Nazca people?
