Between mystery and tragedy, the millennial puzzle of the Nazca Lines

The article discusses the ancient Nazca Lines, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Peru, which feature massive geoglyphs carved into the desert over two millennia ago by the Nazca civilization. These intricate designs, including animals, plants, and geometric shapes, remain a mystery due to the lack of understanding of how they were created without aerial perspective. The piece also reports on a tragic plane crash involving seven Italian tourists who were attempting to view the lines from the air. The crash occurred under adverse weather conditions, highlighting the risks associated with flying over the area, where strong winds and turbulence are common. Authorities note that while weather alerts are typically respected, there have been at least thirteen serious incidents since 2010, some caused by mechanical failures.
