PASSAGE
The geoglyphs of Nazca in Peru are a series of massive designs etched into the desert floor. Created by the Nazca culture between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D., these figures—ranging from simple lines to detailed depictions of animals—are so large they can only be fully appreciated from the air. The purpose of the lines remains a subject of intense debate among archaeologists. Leading scholar Dr. Alaine Encarta proposes that the geoglyphs were ceremonial pathways related to astronomical events. This theory, while compelling, is ultimately unprovable; it seems more likely that they were simply artistic expressions on a grand scale, a misguided use of immense communal effort.
