Discover new mysterious drawings in ancient wonders in the desert

The mystery of an ancient wonder called "The Lines of the Nazca Lines" (Nazca Lines) between the desert of Peru has become more and more profound, after the storms and sandstorms have revealed some more unprecedented drawings see before.

The newspaper El Comercio reported, a pilot named Eduardo Herrán Gómez de la Torre recently discovered pictures of a snake about 60 meters long and a camel is located above a drawing of a bird yet. identify, when flying through the El Ingenio valley and the Pampas de Jumana hills in the Peruvian desert.

These new figures, along with known figures of a dog, hummingbird, vulture and monkey, are believed to be the ancient Nazca products from the 1st century - the 6th century AD."Nazca lines" were discovered for the first time in the air in 1939, when a pilot flew across the Nazca plateau.

The newly discovered figure is said to be about a 60 meter long snake .

The entire site of the "Nazca Lines" , stretching over 80km between the towns of Nazca and Palpa, is about 400km south of the Peruvian capital Lima, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. .

It consists of about 700 drawings carved into a lighter stone layer, about 10 - 15cm deep, in contrast to the sand of darker gravel around. Plus the climate conditions here are dry, windless and temperature stable, drawings are preserved for thousands of years to this day without obscuring sand and soil.

. and a picture of a camel located near an unidentified bird.

In general, the drawings are divided into two groups: the first group consists of about 70 figures that have been identified, seem to simulate creatures like animals, birds, insects, plants and flowers. The second group includes drawings of lines and basic shapes such as spiral, triangle or rectangle.

The strange thing about "Nazca lines" is that they are too large (the largest drawing is 275m long), only visible if viewed from above. In addition, the reason why these drawings were created is still a controversial mystery for decades.

One theory is that mysterious drawings are somehow related to water. For example, a triangular drawing at the foot of Cerro Blanco mountain runs along the waterways inside the mountain, while the vulture figure is associated with the legend of the local inhabitants, when the vulture bird flies over on the mountain, then there will be heavy rains.

Similarly, hummingbird drawings depict birds appearing only in the summer, after torrential rains.

According to researchers, all shapes are created from a seamless line and there is no intersection. They are believed to contain a request for the gods to bring rain.

Experts believe that the Nazca Aborigines used to dance along the lines when they prayed for rain. Many drawings in the desert also appeared on the Nazca civilization pottery, which existed in the period of 100 - 800.

In December 2012, Professor Clive Ruggles of Leicester University (England) once declared, one of the drawings with spiral motifs in the Peruvian desert, most likely a maze . It can be created as "the path of the soul".

"The Nazca lines are one of the most difficult archeological mysteries because of their number, nature, size and continuity. The concentration and location are adjacent to each other as well as Their cultural continuity shows that this is the product of an important and lasting activity , " quoted UNESCO.
