• Between the Andes mountains and the coast of Peru lie the Nazca lines, a series of huge geometric patterns visible only from the sky.
• In perfectly straight lines etched into the desert, some of the patterns measure as much as two soccer fields in length and form shapes like a monkey, a phoenix, and a spider.
• The lines of the drawings range from as little as 15 cm to as big as hundreds of meters in width, and cover an area of 500km. Some are big as four football fields!
• According to archeologists, the last of the lines were etched about 1,000 years ago, probably by the Nazca Indians, an extinct tribe of ancient farmers. But why they did it and why the patterns can only be seen from the sky remains a mysery.
