Nasca, PERU: The lines have been drawn.

Us ladies decided to head to Nasca, to see the infamous Nasca Lines. We headed out on a little jet plane and flew over the dessert that in which the lines lie. It is believed that the lines were created around 400-500 A.D. by the Nasca culture, and were only discovered almost 80 years ago with the invention of planes.

Look closely, you can see Maria in the figure. It is a replica of the humming bird.

Lines.

More lines. There are many theories about the lines. Maybe they were a map of the sky above at night, maybe it was a map of where the water would come from. Whatever it is, it is still not 100% known. They are clearly something to look at and wonder about.
