17. The mysterious Nazca Lines
The Nazca people left behind one of the
most astonishing legacies of the old
cultures of Peru - the Nazca Lines. An
elevated plateau called the Nazca Pampa
is covered by these mysterious markings.
From the air we can wonder at a
multitude of long straight lines, geometric
shapes and outlines of animals and birds
that have been marked into the dry, stony
ground.

18. Most markings were made by removing
the top layer of dark stones from the
ground. The longest straight lines run
for several kilometers while most of the
animal drawings are around 100 - 200
meters across. Why these designs
were made is an enduring mystery,
particularly since they can only been
seen properly from the air.
