Exclusive: Massive Ancient Drawings Found in Peruvian Desert

quote [ Armed with satellites and drones, archaeologists discover new Nasca lines and dozens of other enigmatic geoglyphs carved into the earth.

Unlike the iconic Nasca lines—most of which are only visible from overhead—the older Paracas glyphs were laid down on hillsides, making them visible to villages below. The two cultures also pursued different artistic subjects: Nasca lines most often consist of lines or polygons, but many of the newfound Paracas figures depict humans. ]

New tech = surprising new archaeological discoveries. Drones with high-res cams can see things satellites and airplanes missed.
