DESERT ART

there was discovered the mysterious desert drawings known as the Nazca lines in Peru.

One of the first formal studies of the lines was by Maria Raiche, she convinced that the lines must have
been part of an astronomical calendar. other people think that these lines might have been ancient Inca
roads or irrigation systems.

water must have an incredible significance to these societies, so perhaps the lines were related to this.
there are many huge drawings in this area. it now seems that this may have been part of a long tradition
of ceremonial activities connected to water and religious beliefs.
