Hummingbird geoglyph

The Hummingbird geoglyph is a large, precise design of a hummingbird drawn on the ground in the Nasca Lines of Peru. Created by removing reddish-brown stones to reveal lighter ground underneath, it spans about 100 meters. Believed to date back over 1,500 years, the geoglyph likely held spiritual or ritual significance for the ancient Nasca people. Its purpose might have been related to water worship, astronomical observations, or ceremonial practices. The design’s clarity and alignment suggest skilled planning and a sophisticated understanding of landscape and symbolism by its creators.
