USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Nazca Lines (/ˈnæzkɑː/) are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created between 500 BCE and 500 CE by people making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving differently colored dirt exposed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Nazca lines are said to date back from 200 BC to 500 AD. This was the time when the Nazca people lived in the region. The ancient Nazca people, in their prehistoric culture, used engineering techniques to bring water to the surface for irrigation purposes. The purpose of the Nazca lines still remains a mystery.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lines are found in a region of Peru just over 200 miles southeast of Lima, near the modern town of Nasca. In total, there are over 800 straight lines, 300 geometric figures and 70 animal and plant designs, also called biomorphs.

Detailed explanation-4: -For this reason, one of the Nazca lines theories affirms that many of them travel to close areas of Cahuachi to draw the giant figures and pay tribute to their gods, for this reason, the Nazca lines represent animals that not are local inhabitants of Nazca territory, like the monkey, the Orca, or the hummingbird.
