For over a century, the Nazca Lines in Peru have puzzled archaeologists. These massive geoglyphs, created by the Nazca people between 200 BC and 650 AD, cover vast areas of desert, depicting animals, plants, and tools. Many of these intricate designs, only visible from the sky, have long eluded full understanding. Now, a collaboration between archaeologists and artificial intelligence (AI) has uncovered 303 new geoglyphs in just six months, doubling the known total. This breakthrough, made possible by AI, has provided fresh insights into the purpose of the lines, which were long debated. As reported by Science Focus, this discovery marks a significant leap forward in solving one of archaeology’s greatest puzzles.
