Etched, as if by giants, onto the arid moonscape of Peru´s southern desert lies one of Man’s greatest mysteries: the Nazca Lines. More than 15,000 geometric and animal- like patterns have been discovered criss – crossing the pampas like a vast puzzle. Who built them and what was their purpose? Ancient racetracks, landing strips for aliens, or perhaps a giant astronomical calendar ? And are the Lines connected to the gruesome discovery of large caches of severed human heads?.Now, after decades of misunderstanding, modern archaeology may finally have the answer.
