The Nazca Lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in Southern Peru. Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. The combined length of all the lines is over 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km. The figures vary in complexity. Hundreds are simple lines and geometric shapes; more than 70 are zoomorphic designs, including a hummingbird, spider, fish, condor, heron, monkey, lizard, dog, cat, and human. Other shapes include trees and flowers. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them. Can Creator tell us approximately when these were built, what were their purpose, and who built them? Are these perhaps a more permanent type of “crop circle?”
