A couple thousand years ago, the Nazca people of the coastal deserts of Peru filled an enormous plain with thousands of giant lines and images, now known as the Nazca Lines. They were made by removing the top layer of sand, revealing the lighter layer below. The mystery of Nazca, however, lies in the fact that the designs are so large that they can't even be seen from the ground. In order to see the images, you must be hundreds of feet above them. Why would an ancient civilization build kilometer-long drawings they couldn't even see? This question leads many to believe that they served as a UFO landing strip. I recently chartered a small plane with a couple of my friends, and we flew over the Lines. I still don't know what they mean or if they were built by/for aliens, but I can attest that they were absolutely incredible. If you look in the top-left, you'll see a spider more than 150-feet long composed of one continuous line. I hope you enjoy the view!
