RE-RELEASE: Nazca Lines: Secrets in the Sand

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon!

Imagine a desert stretching over 1,500 miles along the Peruvian coastline, between the high Andes to the east and the vast Pacific coastline to the west. A place of brilliant colors and contradictions. This is the driest desert in the world. Astronauts use it to simulate conditions on Mars.

This is the home of the Nazca Lines: huge, beautifully made 2,000-year-old geoglyphs, visible only from the sky. Some are elaborate images of animals, plants, and people. Others are perfectly straight lines that stretch for miles in the empty desert. 

What were they for? What did they mean? Their story–and the story of the people who made them–is so much more than it seems.
