In Peru, scientists from Japan have discovered a new mysterious Nazca on the Nazca plateau.
A team of Japanese researchers from the Yamagata University have discovered a new geoglyph in Nazca, which is famous for its large-scale drawings on earth.
At this time, the ancient inhabitants of the desert portrayed some kind of mythical creature like a centipede with his tongue hanging out. Presumably, this geoglyph was used in rituals and other religious ceremonies.
Japanese geologists during field work in the Peruvian Nazca desert came across a new geoglyph, which is a mythical creature similar to a centipede. The length of the pattern is 30 meters. Nazca is located in the heart of Nazca in the arid region of Peru between the Andes and the coast, informs portal Discovery News. Line drawing of the ancient Peruvians resemble the animal with many legs, spots on the body and tongue sticking out.
The author, Professor Masato Sakai is convinced that the drawing depicts a non-existent insect. Last year, a team of Japanese scientist discovered in Peru a few dozen new drawings, using the technique of 3-D technology to scan the ground. Because the new drawing is on the slopes of the mountain, it can be observed from earth. Millipede dates back to 400 BC to 200 BC Method of application of the geoglyph is different from other images: the drawing is placed on a white ground, covered with black pebbles.
For “drawing” the centipede Peruvians just removed a layer of black pebbles from the ground, exposing its white color. Sakai sees a connection between the figure and the huge ceremonial center, which includes about 40 mounds. Probably the image was related to the pilgrimage to the ceremonial center of Peru.
