Created by Luis Rosendo in 2015, this image captures the essence of these ancient geoglyphs that have fascinated scholars and visitors alike for centuries. The Nazca Lines are a remarkable series of large-scale designs etched into the arid landscape of the Nazca Desert. Dating back to between 500 BCE and 500 CE, they were created by the enigmatic Nazca culture. These intricate line designs stretch across miles of desert terrain and depict various animals, plants, and geometric shapes.
