Archaeologists using satellite images have unraveled the mystery of the Nasca lines in Peru, who lived there previously left civilization. The analysis, conducted by scientists have shown that in the ancient aqueducts and the Nazca lines formed a single system. On it informs edition Daily Mail.
According to scientists, the Nazca lines are a part existed in ancient times a complex branched system of aqueducts. Some of them have been preserved until now and is called pokies. Previously, scientists did not know whether pokies to the Nazca culture.
Pokies, as noted by archaeologist Rosa Lasaponara were “a complex hydraulic system built to extract water from underground aquifers” that have made the desert habitable. Using puquios water was available to members of the Nazca culture all year round. Liquid people used in domestic and agricultural purposes.
Despite the lack of evidence of writing among the Nasca, the technological level of its representatives has enabled them to design, build and maintain in working order the water supply system. How could the ancient people, scientists don’t know.
According to anthropologists, the existence of such complex structures indicates the presence of a high hierarchy. The Nazca lines are located on the same plateau and was formed about 30 drawings, 700 geometric figures and 13 thousands of bands. The first mention of the drawings appeared in the XVI century. Their origin is unknown. Presumably, the Nazca lines could leave the same culture living in the region in a period of about 3-1,2 thousand years ago.
