For nearly a millennium, the Andean people created huge shapes in the hot and rocky coastal desert in southern Peru. Collectively called geoglyphs, these forms have fascinated the world for a century and given rise to many hypotheses about how and why they were made. However, we are generally less curious about the people responsible for these feats. In this lecture, we will examine the origin and nature of the Nazca society. We will see how these geoglyphs were an expression of this population and facilitated its existence in a difficult environment where cooperation was necessary for survival. Don't miss this unique lecture as part of The Incas, Treasures of Peru exhibition at Pointe-à-Callière.
