Paul Kosok

Paul Kosok was an American archaeologist renowned for his work in studying ancient civilizations, especially the Incas in Peru. He is famous for discovering the Nazca Lines—large geoglyphs etched into the desert floor—and for his research on how ancient cultures used astronomical alignments in their constructions. Kosok's investigations helped reveal the significance of celestial observations in early societies, and his work laid important foundations for understanding the cultural and scientific achievements of the Incas. His contributions greatly advanced the field of archaeology and our knowledge of South American prehistory.
