Peru's Ancient Nazca Lines Were Badly Damaged After a Truck Drove Over Them!
Some idiot Truck driver drove off the Pan American Highway in southern Peru probably to go around a pay toll crossing. He just drove over the 2,500 year old geoglyphs and destroyed some of them. Spanning for hundreds of miles across a high plateau in southern Peru, the Nazca Lines are a series of massive, complex geoglyphs carved into the desert floor thousands of years ago by the Nazca people. Some of the lines come together to form gigantic pictures of humans and animals that can only be distinguished from the sky; others stretch out arrow-straight for thousands of feet. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Peru's most prized cultural treasures.
Its scary knowing we have these sort of drivers on the road, how can he ruin such a treasure.
I was just in Peru not far from there and the drivers in Peru are hell of reckless.
hhahah i wonder if its easy to get a drivers licence in Peru.
Go on YouTube and search driving in Lima Peru. LOL Everybody cuts off and disrespects everyone.
i live in Australia and if you did that .... a big fine and a few demerits points coming your way hahah
May be a bit more than a big fine.... Its as if you would paint a giant grafitty on Ayers Rock or something like that.
nice info.something new learn.
Well, "archaeologists" have been destroying the actual information encoded in the glyphs for my entire life. Basically, they have destroyed the people's knowledge just like this truck destroyed the glyph.
If those were in my area they would have to put in fence of the ATV's and the truck mudders would be trashing them
