The Nasca Lines, Nasca Peru
Today I flew over the world famous Nasca Lines. Most people hear the name and immediately think of the multiple large drawings of animals and shapes that the pre-Inca Nasca people drew across the desert between 400-800 AD. Even the local tour guides failed to comment on what appears to be the actual lines.
Yes, the drawings are made up of lines, but there are considerably more plain straight lines crisscrossing the desert that I find equally interesting and due to everyone's lack of comments...more mysterious.
The plane ride did not really lend itself to great photos, but here are a few. You can see much better photos with a quick Google search, but take a look at the long straight lines that are also here. The photos lack a sense of scale since there is nothing identifyable in them. Consider this...the Hummingbird is 100yds long and if a person was present in any of these photos, they would be too small to see.
