Nazca

The Nazca Lines, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. The high, arid plateau lies about 400 km south of Lima. The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish/grayish ground beneath. Scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, lizards, among others. The largest figures are over 200 m. (660 ft.) big.
