A cat-shaped painting 37 meters long was found in Peru. How old is this land?
Recently, the Peruvian Ministry of Culture announced that a new landscape painting had been discovered in the famous Nazca desert area. The cat in the painting has clear lines, about 37 meters long and 30 to 40 meters wide. It belongs to the late Paracas culture, which is even older than the famous Nacass paintings. It has a history of more than 2000 years.

According to local media reports, many Nazca paintings are in danger of disappearing due to natural erosion. Archaeologists and technicians in Peru have been transforming the landscape paintings in the Nazca desert area before and came across this new painting. Unfortunately, because it is located on a steep slope vulnerable to natural erosion, it will accelerate its disappearance. Many netizens are proud of this cat's cute head. I think it looks like a modern cat, but it is 2000 years old.

Nazca paintings are located in the Nazca desert in Peru, which is one of the driest areas in the world. It only rains for half an hour at most every year. It was first discovered by Dr. Paul in 1939 when he flew along the ancient water diversion system on the Nazca Plain and occasionally looked down.

Archaeologists believe that the creation time of Nacache's landscape painting may be 1500 to 2000 years ago, but its source and use are still a mystery.

A line that stretches for several kilometers forms various vivid patterns and is embedded in the soil. There is a lot of speculation about this. Some people think that this is a symbol of the distribution of water resources by ancient Nazca people, and those patterns are the national emblems of different families. Others think that this is an ancient map, which shows some passages into important places, such as underground canals. Some people think that these line drawings describe living animals, plants, imaginary images, and geometric images that are several kilometers long, such as religious forms related to astronomy, while others think that they are indicators used by aliens. 1994, Nacass's mysterious paintings were listed as world cultural heritage by UNESCO.
