To little two hours of Ica, 50 km of desert were covered, makes hundreds of years, by monumental drawings, mammalian enormous figures representing, insects, Gods.
The Lines of Nasca, calls thus from their discovery in 1927, are the most incredible vestige never left by a culture forged 300 years before the Christian era: the result of its complex designs and drawing up, some of almost 300 ms of length, only can be seen from the sky, on 1,500 feet of height.
The Nasca, as it is of assuming, could not know the flight how then were designed these drawings? what technology used? And more important chance for whom they were put there?
The theories are many that have arisen around these mysterious engravings - from which it suggests runways terrestrial beings extra until whom it sees in the lines the gigantic most probable seismograph is than, as it will indicate Maria Reiche, German student who dedicated her life to the study of the lines, it is a monumental astronomical calendar whose figures marked to the different periods or solar phases.
Was also Reiche, called by the villagers the “angel of Pampas”, the one who discovered the ancestral practice to make cracks in the duro and dry ground of the desert to cover them with extracted stones of distant places.
The natural plaster component that exists in the region would have contributed to fix, during thousands of years, already the famous images: the colibrí, the spider, the condor, the monkey… is more than the thirty representations registered there.
The Pampas of Nasca (four altogether: It feels, I devise, Nasca and Socos) is in the department of Ica, to about 460 km to the south of Lima.
The lines that, like an embroidering of the Gods, adorn their desert grounds, already have been declared Cultural Patrimony of the Humanity and still wait that the ancestral mystery is solved that hides their extraordinary figures.
