The Nazca Lines

Hi everybody. Today I want to show you something amazing. Nobody knows who did it, or why. My son Daniel was impressed when he saw it for the first time in his life. These pictures show strange images that were made on the ground, you can see drawings of some kinds of animals like a monkey, humminbird, fish, etc. One of these drawings can measure about 200 meters across and were made by using a strange technique based in carving the ground until you reach white rock located under the soil. These Pictures were found in the Nazca Desert, Peru. And are called THE NAZCA LINES. Some scientists think that the lines were some kind of an Astronomic Calendar. What do you think about the lines? Do you think that were made by men or somebody else?

  1. It's amazing! I think a man who was a king or a lord made the lines since human could see easily these animals in the lifetime. I want to go and see this picture on Nazca Desert.

  2. Do scientists know when these pictures were created? These pictures remind me of chalk horse pictures I've seen on a hillside in England. Here's a link if you want to read about the chalk drawings. These things are amazing!
