Nazca lines are mysterious earth drawings (hieroglyphs and geoglyphs) created between 400 and 650 CE by the indigenous peoples who lived on the plains northwest of what is now known as the Nazca Valley, a dry, windless, desert plateau high in Peru.
This Nazca figure is referred to as the Killer Whale or Orca. The outlines of the Nazca line creatures are always continuous and unbroken which may indicate they were used as ceremonious paths like with mazes or labyrinths.
