What are the
NAZCA LINES?

Basic Facts:
They’re a group of geoglyphs (lines made in the
ground) in the Nazca Desert in Peru.
They were made some time between
500 BC and 500 AD.
They were made by removing the red pebbles on
the surface of the Nazca Plain to a depth of 4 to 6
inches, revealing the white ground underneath.
NAZCA LINES

Basic Facts:
They cover a large area, roughly 170 square miles
(450 square kilometers).
Because the weather is so dry there, they’ve been
well-preserved.
Some represent over 70 creatures such as birds,
fish, monkeys, jaguars, etc.
Other are of plants and trees.
Other shapes are geometric, including straight
lines.

Basic Facts:
Contrary to popular
belief, they can be
seen from the ground
on the surrounding
hills. But they can also
be seen in satellite
images.
NAZCA LINES

Why were they built?
There are numerous theories.
One is that they were drawn to be seen by the
Gods of the Nazca people.
Another is that they are part of a kind of
observatory, pointing at places on the horizon to be
watched, although there is insufficient evidence to
support this.
Perhaps they were drawn as a plea to the Gods to
bring water to this arid place?

There are also grids and lines, which some call ley
lines.

Then there are lines that inspire the imagination.

Of course, there are those who postulate other
theories about the purpose of the lines and who
made them.
Some say they were made by ancient aliens.
Or perhaps they are ley lines and control some sort
of power from inside the Earth itself?

I’ve used the Nazca lines in some of my books,
particularly in Atlantis Gate.
