The Nazca Lines: images in the desert, questions that remain

The Nazca Lines are enormous figures and geometric designs traced into the desert near Peru, from a hummingbird and spider to human-like shapes. This book introduces the images and the broad span of time in which they are believed to have been made, while setting out the uncertainty around their purpose. Explanations mentioned include irrigation systems and more paranormal ideas, including the possibility of alien landing sites. The subject brings together ancient cultures, landscape, and competing interpretations, giving young readers a way into a historical puzzle whose origins remain unresolved.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

The Nazca Lines in Peru have mystified people around the world for centuries. The famous figures, sometimes called geoglyphs, include a hummingbird, a spider, a fish, a monkey, a dog, a cat, human-like figures, geometric designs, and more. These amazing images were believed to have been created between 500 B.C.E. and 500 C.E., and no one is quite sure how or why they were created. Some historians believe that they are ancient irrigation systems, but other researchers believe in a more paranormal origin story. Were the Nazca Lines created by ancient cultures thousands of years ago, or could they have been alien landing sites? Find out the truth about the Nazca Lines in this book for young readers.
