They are declared as world heritage by the UNESCO since 1990. Take reference of its existence by the mid-16th century

Paul Kosok was an American scientist who really discovered the figures in 1939, the was the one who was in charge of clearing the lines and discover that the lines were complex geometric figures with shapes of animals and men.

It is believed that these figures are made between 200 b.c. and 600 a.d. The mystery of these figures is that its only forms are visible from a height of 1500 feet, if we consider that there are no methods to reach those heights at the time that were made so the mysteries this served. Also there is speculation that the drawings have something to do with the stars and constellations with involving knowledge of astronomy.
