AI's Role in Uncovering Nazca Geoglyphs

Artificial intelligence has significantly advanced archaeological research, particularly in the field of geoglyph discovery in Peru's Nazca desert. Researchers from Yamagata University, in collaboration with IBM, developed an AI model that identified over 300 new geoglyphs, nearly doubling the previously known designs. This technology proved to be 20 times faster than human analysis, effectively detecting smaller and more intricate figures that might be overlooked by the naked eye. The discoveries provide vital insights into the artistic and cultural practices of the ancient Nazca civilization, with many figures reflecting human motifs and local customs, thus enhancing our understanding of their societal dynamics.
