In the southern desert of Peru there exists a puzzling expanse of hundreds of geoglyphs, or earth drawings, known as the Nazca lines. They cover a 200-square-mile area and consist both of geometric designs and a varied group of huge figures that depict animals, birds, fish and insects. Because of their size (the smallest animal figure is 80 feet long, while the largest, a stylized heron, is 900 feet) the designs are best seen from the air. Though they are presumed to have been created by the Nazca Indians around 2,000 years ago, little is known about their purpose or meaning. And because of the lack of an agreed upon, credible explanation, the Nazca lines have ascended to the pantheon of the unexplained to join ranks with the face on Mars and the Loch Ness monster.
