For those who are curious, Nazca lines were made by a pre-Inca civilization called the Nazca. They lived about five hours south from Lima, in the desert, and they were built in such a way they lasted until today. Nazca people were also known for being able to dig fresh water from the Pacific ocean (do not ask me how because I do not know).

Una nueva línea de Nazca ha sido anunciada hoy en #Perú. Es un felino.
Para quienes se sientan curiosos, las líneas de Nazca fueron hechos por una civilización anterior a los Incas conocida como los Nazca. Se ubicaron unas cinco horas al sur de Lima, en el desierto, y las construyeron de tal manera que duran hasta hoy. Los nazca también fueron conocidos por ser capaces de extraer agua dulce del océano Pacífico (no me pregunten cómo porque no sé).
