What Is Hiding Under The World Famous Nazca Lines In Peru | Blowing Up History

By the 7th, a new geoglyph that seems to have painted a plant was discovered in the hills of southern Nasca, known as the world heritage "Geoglyph of Nasca" in Peru, South America. It is about 60 meters long and about 30 meters wide, and is thought to have drawn corn or a locally native Caltropaceae plant.

Since Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejía Xesspe first discovered the Nazca lines in the 1920s, — giant images etched into the earth across Peruvian plateaus — they have been the subject of great speculation, with scientists searching for a logical explanation and others wondering if they are signals and symbols reaching out to alien life forms. 

And now, even more of these geoglyphs have been discovered in Peru, further baffling the already baffled investigators. While these latest finds are exciting, it seems that scientists are no closer to resolving the mystery of why they were created.

Scientists believe that the majority of lines were made by the Nasca people, who flourished from around A.D. 1 to 700.
No single evaluation proves a theory about the lines, but the combination of archeology, ethnohistory, and anthropology builds a solid case. Add new technological research to the mix, and there’s no doubt that the world’s understanding of the Nasca lines will continue to evolve.
