Who built the Nazca Lines and why?
Most of the Nazca Lines were constructed more than 2,000 years ago by the people of the Nazca culture (c. 200 bce–600 ce), though some clearly predate the Nazca and are considered to be the work of the earlier Paracas culture.
Why are Nazca Lines called a mystery?
Ever since their discovery in the 1920s, the Nazca Lines have been a subject of debate, yet to this day, no conclusion has been reached on the significance or meaning of these deliberately drawn figures. A new discovery of 300 never-before-seen Nazca Lines has deepened the mystery.
