Human beings have regularly found ways of leaving traces to explain their world. Rock art, of course, has been found wherever people have evolved. Among the most impressive of these works are the Nazca lines in Peru. These immense geoglyphs made by a pre-incasic culture fascinate by their gigantism and the skill of those who traced them.
