While in an airplane flying over Peru in South America, your friend Pam looks out the
window and sees what appear to be stones and trees designed in the shape of animals
What should you tell Pam about to help her understand what she is observing out the
window?
You should tell Pam about the Nazca Lines. The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created by the Nazca people between 500 BC and 500 AD and consist of various designs, including animals, plants, and geometric shapes, etched into the desert floor. The purpose of the Nazca Lines is still a mystery, but some theories suggest they may have had religious or astronomical significance. By explaining the Nazca Lines to Pam, she will better understand that what she is observing from the airplane are not actual stones and trees shaped like animals, but rather ancient designs etched into the landscape by the Nazca people.
