Detailed explanation-1: -More recent research suggested that the Nazca Lines’ purpose was related to water, a valuable commodity in the arid lands of the Peruvian coastal plain. The geoglyphs weren’t used as an irrigation system or a guide to find water, but rather as part of a ritual to the gods-an effort to bring much-needed rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -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 hollows or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving differently colored dirt exposed.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are most famous for representing animals and plants like a spider, hummingbird, cactus plant, monkey, whale, llama, duck, flower, tree, lizard and dog. But perhaps the most unusual one is the drawing of a humanoid figure nicknamed ‘The Astronaut” with its hands and some unidentifiable depictions.
