[WEB LINKS] Nazca Lines

You may not have heard about the Nazca Lines, located in Peru about 200 miles south of Lima on a desert plain between the Inca and Nasca valleys, archaeologists beleive them to date from around 200 years BC.

Across the plain, in an area measuring 37 miles long and 1 mile wide, are an assortment of perfectly straight lines, many running parallel, others intersecting, forming a grand geometric form. In and around the lines there are also trapezoidal zones, strange symbols, and pictures of birds and beasts all etched on a giant scale.

The wierd thing is they can only be appreciated from the sky, consequently they were only discovered in the 1930's when aircraft, surveying for water, spotted them.

They were created by moving rocks on the ground to create pathways, the mystery is how and why their creators made them when they couldn't even see them!?
