Mystery line in Peru

In the desert of southern Peru, thousands of lines and images – including a spiders, a monkey and various other animals and plants – are drawn in the sand.

Who created these pictures, and for what purpose? Many of the images are more than 1,500 years old and can only be seen from the air. Because of this, some people thought they must have been made by visitors from space. Today, we know that most of the images were in fact created by people known as the Nasca. Less certain is why were made.

A team of researchs in Nasca may found an answer. ‘’In this area, water was the key issue, says research director Markus Reindel. The Nasca lived in one of the driest areas in the world. Their river water came from the nearby Andes mauntains. By making images for the mountain gods, the Nasca thought they would get more rainfall each year.
