#29: The Nazca Lines of Peru
There are many mysteries and myths out there related to religion or culture in some way. For some reason, there is a lot of room for conspiracy theories to come into play when talking about religion and culture. People want to believe certain things so badly that they will do whatever it takes to make themselves believe.
First discovered in the 30s, these white geoglyphs were believed to be of religious significance to Nazca culture. The only thing is, why would the Nazcan people make these lines if there were no airplanes in 500 BCE or 500 BC? It wasn’t always exactly clear why the Nazcan people would create such a figure if no one could see it from above… But the area isn’t flat, allowing people to view these shapes from different areas.
