These 100 novel designs, found in the pre-Columbian Nazca plain of Peru and its surroundings, might help reveal new details about the fascinating pre-Columbian artworks that have long captured the interest of researchers and tourists.

Survey details

Since two years ago, surveys and research have been conducted. As a result, there are several field surveys and drone photos with a clear aerial view. Additionally, earlier this month, both Yamagata University researchers released details about establishing these artworks at the UNESCO World Heritage Site on Peru’s southern Pacific coast.

What do these artworks represent?

According to sources, the enormous figures known as “geoglyphs,” which were found carved into the South American desert, are thought to be more than 2,000 years old. Along with the indigenous camelids like guanacos, alpacas, and llamas, they feature cats, humans, killer whales, snakes, and birds.
