Drawings in the Sand

More than thousand years ago the inhabitants of the Nazca Desert in Peru, scratched out shapes of giant lizards, birds, animals and flowers on the barren ground over an area of 40 miles.
Why they did it remains a mystery especially as the drawings seem to be made to be viewed from the air but they fascinate everyone who sees them.
The drawing of the spider shown here is 150 ft. long.
