1 What are the Nazca lines? The Nazca lines are big pictures.The Nazca lines are drawn in the Southern Nazca deserts. They were discovered by archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe.The Nazca lines stretch more than 80 km.

2 The Nazca lines are located in the Nazca desert in Southern Peru.They can be seen from an altitude of above 1000 feet. They are between the towns Nazca and Palpas and is also 400 km south of Lima.

3 The Nazca lines were discovered by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe in 1927.Scientists believe they were created around 400-650 AD. Nazca culture drew the Nazca lines.

4 I think that the Nazca lines are a giant astronomical calendar. Why because the ancient Mayans and Incas drew spiral calanders.even Maria Rieche was convinced it was a calendar too.

5 Why are these pictures drawn in the middle of the desert when the only way to see them is in the sky? Maria Reiche joined Paul Kosok to find the purpose to why. They proposed one of the earliest reasons for the existence of the figures: to be markers on the horizon to show where the sun and other celestial bodies rose.

6 Nobody knows how the Nazca lines came some believe Aliens drew them. Some believe the ancient Nazca's drew them between 400 and 650 ad.other also believe that they have been there longer than the pyramids.
