Nazca civilization

The Nazca civilization thrived in southern coastal Peru around 200 BC to 600 AD. Renowned for creating the extraordinary Nazca Lines—large geoglyphs visible from the sky—they crafted these intricate designs by removing stones to reveal lighter soil beneath. The Nazca people also developed sophisticated water management techniques in a desert environment and produced notable pottery and textiles. Their cultural achievements reflect advanced engineering and artistic skills, and while much about their society remains a mystery, their legacy endures through these impressive geoglyphs and artifacts.
