The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.  Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD.  The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized colibri, spider, monkey, whale, dog, condor and lizard.
