Located in the arid Pampas de Jumana in southern Peru, the drawings depict a complex array of animal, humanoid and geometric shapes, some about 1,000ft long, and are scattered across 170 square miles of barren desert as if they were a strange and ancient art installation. There have been many theories about why the Nazca people would have created such vast works: a landing track for aliens (one image famously looks a little like an astronaut); a folly of the earliest hot-air balloonists (the outlines are best viewed from the air).

Whatever their purpose, one thingâs for certain: they just got a little stranger. A new drawing was discovered in October 2020, a 120ft cat carved into the hillside. The worldâs first space cat? Perhaps. Or maybe just another piece of the enigma waiting to be revealed.
good one
