Lines of Nazca “Condor” Engraved relief, quartzite-limestone composite, 5 x 3.5” (13 x 10 cm), with display stand, inset back-hanger & description label. One of the mysteries of modern archaeology, the huge designs on the plains of Nazca in Peru have perplexed countless researchers and given rise to some extraordinary theories. Since their discovery in 1939, they have become a modern enigma. Visible only from the air, they are most outstanding geoglyphs found anywhere on eart...h. Fashioned from volcanic rocks arranged with geometric precision, they form the outlines of hundreds of figures, from simple geometric shapes to stylized birds, giant spiders, monkeys, fish, whales, llamas and lizards. The most famous of the glyphs, the "Condor" is impossible to see on the ground. It is 147 yards (135 m) in length with such an enormous wingspan you cannot see from one tip to the other. Although located in the area of the ancient Nazca culture, no clue has ever been found to indicate who constructed them or why. Modern researchers have related the glyphs to native star signs and formed the theory that the entire complex is a giant astonomical calendar visible only to the gods.
