HOW WERE THESE CREATED?• Surveys have found wooden stakes in the ground at
the end of some lines. One such stake was carbon-dated and was the basis for establishing the age of the design complex.
• Most of the lines are formed by a trench with a depth around 12 cm. Such trenches were made by removing iron oxide-coated pebbles. Having done this, the clay earth exposed in the bottom of the trench produces lines This sub-layer contains lots of lime which hardens with time and shields the lines from winds and erosion.
ABOUT THE PRAISES
• UNESCO admired the geographical Geoglyphs of Nazca. So attracted by the perfect geometrical parallelism and perfection of geometry, that it declared it as a world heritage site in 1994.
PURPOSE OF CREATION
• The Nazca people created them to be seen by their gods in the sky.
• Intended to act as a kind of observatory, to point to the places on the horizon where the sun and other celestial bodies rose or set in the solstices.
• Represented Constellations• Messengers Of God• The era of evolution of Geometry.
