More than a hundred new designs discovered in and around Peru's ancient Nazca plain and surrounding areas could bring new information to light about the mysterious pre-Columbian artworks that have intrigued scientists and visitors for decades.
Following two years of field surveys with aerial photos and drones, Peruvian and Japanese researches from Yamagata University earlier this month reported the discovery of 168 new designs at the UNESCO World Heritage site on Peru's southern Pacific coast.
Jorge Olano, head archaeologist for the Nazca Lines research program, said the new figures averaged between two and six meters in length. The purpose of the Nazca lines, which could only be seen from the air, remain a mystery. The figures, iconic vestiges of Peru's rich history, are about a three-hour drive from the capital Lima.
Yamagata University said the research will be used in artificial intelligence-based surveys to help inform the lines' preservation.
