Discusses the mystery of the lines on the Nazca plain in the Andes, which were a feat for a primitive people to create since many of them can only be seen from an aerial view. They take the form of straight lines, giant animals, and radiating hubs.

"Part of a documentary series exploring the achievements of pre-Inca civilization, this film examines the lines and vast animal figures drawn by ancient Peruvians in the flat desert floor. German-born mathematician Maria Reiche discusses her theory that the Nazca lines are a sophisticated astronomical observatory, created to mark risings and settings of the sun, moon and stars."@en
