Archaeologists Discover 24 New Nazca Lines

A team of Japanese archaeologists discovered 24 new geoglyphs in Peru’s Nazca Desert, which could be among the oldest in this area according to researchers from the Yamagata University from Japan.

Almost invisible on the surface, the images were obtained through 3-D scans conducted on the ground north of the city of Nazca.

The Geometric shapes drawn on the desert floor were found a kilometer and a half north of the city of Nazca, the figures include a drawing of what appears to be a “llama” and other representations that are not so recognizable.

According these lines would date back to the III and V centuries BC. This means that these newly found lines at Nazca would correspond to the time of the Paracas, which signifies that these new lines are the oldest lines ever found in the area, predating the more famous lines such as the hummingbird, monkey, humanoid figure, etc.
