Owlman of the Nazca Lines in Peru

If you can see the Owlman geoglyph here in the coastal foothills of the Peruvian Andes, you’re probably taking an aerial tour of the Nazca Lines or looking down from one of the surrounding hills. There are hundreds of geometric patterns and representative figures (a spider, birds, a monkey) carved by the ancient Nazca people into the hillsides here. Some of the abstract lines are miles long. Scientists have offered numerous theories for why the Nazca drew these massive pictures, but no theory really caught on. Some observers call this humanoid figure ‘The Astronaut’.
