    The Nazca people lived in Peru around 2,000 years ago and are famous for creating large geoglyphs in the Nazca Desert, including drawings of birds, animals, and geometric shapes that can only be seen from high altitude. The drawings, which took hundreds of years and thousands of people to complete, remained preserved due to the dry climate and lack of wind in the region, and were not discovered until 1927 when they could be seen from airplanes.
