What are these?
You'd love these Riddles in the Sand as these famous Nazca lines are called. The Nazca lines are giant ground drawings etched across 30 miles of gravel-covered desert near Peru's southern coast. I remember reading about these lines in the 70s in Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods?- a book that underestimates the abilities of ancient peoples and attributes their works to visiting extraterrestrials. Erich of course attributes theNazca lines not to the Incas but to the extraterrestrials whom he says probably made the lines using aircrafts. If you were to see the antics of an 18-year-old who secretly painted a 60ft drawing on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire, England, you'd probably believe and agree with Erich that man indeed is incapable of producing the Nazca lines. As people say, making an impression counts and you'd know what I mean if you were to see the work of the 18 year old...Can you identify which are the Nazca lines and which is this modern man's handiwork?
Which of the following is not a Nazca line? You don't need the diagram above to help you!
