Includes bibliographical references (page 108)."The Nazca Lines in Peru have mystified people around the world for centuries.

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.
