HOW WERE THESE CREATED?• Surveys have found wooden stakes in the ground at

the end of some lines. One such stake was carbon-dated and was the basis for establishing the age of the design complex.

• Most of the lines are formed by a trench with a depth around 12 cm. Such trenches were made by removing iron oxide-coated pebbles. Having done this, the clay earth exposed in the bottom of the trench produces lines This sub-layer contains lots of lime which hardens with time and shields the lines from winds and erosion.

ABOUT THE PRAISES

• UNESCO admired the geographical Geoglyphs of Nazca. So attracted by the perfect geometrical parallelism and perfection of geometry, that it declared it as a world heritage site in 1994.
