•AI helps uncover hundreds of unknown ancient symbols hidden in Peru’s Nazca Desert
86% Informative
Archaeologists in Peru have discovered 303 previously unknown symbols carved in the Nazca Desert .
The discovery almost doubles the number of known Nazca geoglyphs.
Carvings include birds, plants, spiders, humanlike figures with headdresses, decapitated heads and an orca wielding a knife.
The symbols were found in the desert beginning in the early 20th century .
It’s not clear why the Nazca people made the symbols.
The main hypothesis is that they formed a sacred space that was perhaps a place of pilgrimage.
Other theories propose they played a part in calendars, astronomy, irrigation or for movement, such as running or dancing.
