Our planet is very diverse, so if you suddenly think that saw all, do not rush to conclusions. In the world and one of them is the elevated plain of Nazca, located on the territory of the South American Republic of Peru. It is remarkable that on its surface is still possible to find a huge image of geometric shapes and animals that can be seen only from a great height. Scientists still are not sure who they were drawn and what their purposes are. However, there is speculation that the huge drawings were created inhabited these places until the II century of our era the civilization of Nazca. Recently scientists have found 143 previously unknown figure.
For the First time the drawings were discovered back in 1939, when the territory of Nazca flew on a plane archaeologist Paul Cosquer. The study of images was started two years later, the German researcher Maria Reiche, which in 1947 was able to photograph the drawings with altitude military aircraft. It turned out that the drawings on the surface of the desert reach ten meters in length. In essence these images are geoglyphs drawn on the ground shaped patterns, which can be found in different corners of our planet. The most famous and largest of them are the Nazca lines.
Mysterious drawings in the desert
In history, scientists have found about 700 geometric shapes and more than 13 thousand lines and bands. Since the researchers do not stop the search, their number continues to increase. For example, in 2018, the archaeologists were able to find , and in this they were helped by flying drones. But Japanese scientists who studied the territory of the plains from the distant 2004 with the help of satellite imagery, has recently surprised the opening of 143 new drawings.
Geoglyph depicting fish
Found the geoglyphs depict various animals, which include snakes, fish, birds, and even monkeys. Scientists have divided them into two groups, the first of which came in the shape of a 100 meter length, and the second — less than 50 meters in length. According to scientists, the drawings were made in 100 to 300 years BC and was used to communicate with the gods. They also do not deny the fact that the figures could help the ancient people to navigate and explore the stars. About their assumptions, they said .
The Most interesting figures is the image of a huge-eyed creature with three Bunny ears. It was discovered by artificial intelligence Watson from the company . Scientists have armed them for the study of satellite imagery and the search for previously undetected geoglyphs. By selecting a number of places with their location, they were given the right to search the computer after some time was found the image of a huge monster.
Geoglyph in the form of a three-eyed monster
In General, the geoglyphs are still as amazing as and . Must be on the drawing drawings of people took a lot of time, because the process demanded patience, endurance and a lot of physical strength. Scientists believe that a giant picture on the earth created by digging the grooves with a depth of a few tens of centimeters. Thus the peoples had to be removed from the locations of the drawings the rocks that could spoil the pictures.
