It is believed to have been built between 200 BC and 600 AD by the people of the Nazca civilization. The dark-colored rocky surface of the desert was removed to reveal the light soil below, creating these figures. Many figures are from 100 to 300 meters and even larger. Some straight lines go for several kilometers. Why it was created is still a mystery to this day. According to scientists, it could be related to rituals, water sources, calculations of space, or culture. Due to the scanty rainfall and arid climate here, these figures have been preserved for nearly 2,000 years.
