In this episode, I break down the exciting news of newly discovered geoglyphs in Peru that date back to 200 B.C., and that nearly double the number of known geoglyphs around the mysterious Nazca region. I then share some of my research regarding the infamous Nazca lines that were discovered in the 1930s. After Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines consistently rank as one of the top ancient Peruvian sites that attract tens of thousands of tourists each year. Estimated to have been created as early as 500 B.C., the Nazca Lines cover hundreds of square miles are the most mysterious geoglyphs known to man. I think I came to the same conclusion that so many others have when I first flew over the Nazca lines years ago... it seems as if these anomalous works of art were tailor made to be viewed from thousands of feet up in the air. In this episode, I attempt to answer the questions: How were they made? Why were they made? Who made them?
