Nasca

PERU | Sunday, 30 November 2008 | Views [298]

The Nasca Lines are massive shapes in the sand spread over 500km. They were created by the Incas but there was no definitive reason why they are created. Some of them are hundreds of metres high in the shape of martians, eagles, whales and other geometric shapes. They look cool from the air though...


Also in Mazca there is an ancient Inca cemetry of the Chuchilla people. There are mass graves of people and they are buried in the foetal position....because there is no humidity there is little decay and a lot of the hair on the bodies is still intact!
