Nasca Lines

The Nasca (aka Nazca) Lines are one of archaeology's most familiar finds.

Ironically, they had to lie exposed for all the world to see for thousands of years. Yet, it was ani airplane flight that took place in 1939 that finally revealed their presence to the modern world!

By then, the Pan-America highway had already been constructed right through the middle of some of them.

They have been protected and preserved since then, but it's amazing to me that artwork created before Jesus walked the earth wasn't discovered until the same year that Gone With the Wind was released.

Today's FamilyFirst pick is a photo essay of the lines.

There isn't much text. The photos speak for themselves.

There are also photos of Nazca artifacts from a museum.

It's a nice, simple presentation that I think you will find enjoyable.
