Reading About Nazca Lines
The Nazca Lines are located on desert plains. The Nazca Lines are recognized
worldwide. They are line figures in the desert. The lines are technically called
geoglyphs. When we speak of the geoglyphs we refer to the figures that are
built on the plains. These lines represent plants and animals. Some lines
represent geometric shapes: spirals, trapezoids, triangles and zigzags. The
figures are too large, we can not watch the figures on land. We have to watch
the lines on a small plane. The coast of Nazca is full of geoglyphs. There is a
problem on the Nazca Lines. Vehicles cause irreparable damage to the surface
of the land. Some vehicles damaged the geoglyphs, there are huge markings.
The Greenpeace organization disagrees when vehicles are damaging an ancient
sacred site. If you damage the Nazca Lines, it is a crime. You can go into prison
for 6 years. Louis Jaime Castillo, vice minister of Culture of Peru, said
Greenpeace ignored what the Peruvian people consider to be sacred.
