Naza

More than 50 new geoglyphs have been added to the mysterious Peruvian desert carvings. Some are made by the same culture as the Nazca lines and others show unique designs predating them. Archaeologists made their discovery with an exciting blend of amateur eyes combined with expert on-site knowledge and exploration. According to National Geographic, the newly found designs were identified in the Palpa province or Peru and include both the linear and polygon figures made by the Nazca culture between 200 to 700 AD as well as human figures carved into the earth by the Paracas or Topará cultures between 500 BC and 200 AD.
