The Three Reasons for The Nazca Line Drawing

Have you ever been to Peru? The Nazca Desert is in southwestern Peru, in South America. When you stand on the ground in the Nazca Desert, the area looks dry and rocky. When you look at the Nazca Desert from an airplane, you see mysterious lines and pictures. For example, you can see a picture of a monkey, a spider, a whale and lines. As a result, many scientists give several explanations why and who made these pictures. I will explain three main theories, why they were drawn.

One main reason is that the Nazca lines were used as a landing filed many years ago. The landing fields were built for pilots from the lost island of Atlantis. According to legend, Atlantis was a beautiful island that sank during an earthquake. As a result of Atlantis sinking, the landing fields were not used any longer. They were just left for people to discover thousands of years later.

The second explanation is that the Nazca lines were made by aliens. A German, Maria Reiche, announced another reason why the Nazca lines were made. She said, for the landing fields were UFOs coming from outer space. According to theory, aliens landed on Earth in prehistoric times. The Nazca lines made it easy for the aliens to know where to land.

Recently, scientists have more explanations for the Nazca lines. They were made for ceremonies. Scientists know that humans lived in the area for about 12,000 years. They speculate that ancient people used the lines and pictures in ceremonies. They might have been trying to get to the attention of their gods. Since agriculture was very important in their lives, the Nazca lines could have been a way to ensure a good harvest.

In conclusion, we may never know the true answers to the questions about the Nazca lines, but their mysteries continue to fascinate people. These explanations are the strongest theories for why the Nazca lines were drawn.
