Nazca Lines

      I saw a TV programme about the Nazca Lines in Peru and it was amazing. It was fascinating to   discover  that  are more than 15,00 huge design of human figures and animals such as hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys and fish. They were made in the desert by an ancient people called the Nazca around 2,000 years ago. But the big mystery is that we don’t know why the Nazca made the lines. The designs are so large that they can only be seen from the air. So why did they do some things that they couldn’t see themselves? The progamme talked about some theories about why the lines were made. Some people say they were racetracks, or used for water irrigation or even as landing strips for UFOs, but I think the best theory is that the Nazca people made the lines as a present for their gods because they can only be seen from the sky. Why do you think the Nazca people made the lines?
