THELINES OF MISTERY

 NATURE'S WONDER

 Nazca Lines: From Peruvian soil

 As I said before that our mother nature is full of wonders which mesmerizes our sense of beauty, sometime not so picturesque but left us unanswered or victimize ourselves in a glare of mystery. 

If anyone tells you about Latin America then at first if you are a nature lover or travel explorer then the great Amazonia automatically catches most of your attractions which mostly lies in Brazil; the land of football. 

Now just turn your vision toward another famous country also most well known for football ; that is PERU. The capital of PERU is LIMA. If you go to the southern part of  LIMA then you will visualize some strange lines known as NAZCA LINES . Famous writer Erik Von  Daniken mentioned about it in his book " CHARIOT OF GODS". basically there are controversy still exists on these lines but according to the most of the archeologist it symbolizes the cultural and tribal behaviors, their creeds and customs most probably. They were created between 500 BCE and 500 CE by people making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving different-colored dirt exposed. Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. The combined length of all the lines is more than 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km² (19 sq mi). They were made by removing the top layer of reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles to reveal a yellow-grey subsoil. The figures vary in complexity. Hundreds are simple lines and geometric shapes; more than 70 are zoomorphic designs, including a hummingbird, spider, fish, condor, heron, monkey, lizard, dog, cat, and a human. Other shapes include trees and flowers. 

They were designated in 1994 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
