I thought I knew a lot about Nazca and the Nazca Lines but in reality I didn't know much. I did realize that ancient Indians had drawn the lines in the earth and that they were best seen from the air, but I really didn't know the history. It seems that the people who drew the lines were related to the ancient civilization called the Paracas. They were from an area of Peru called Pisco, very similar to a state or province, home of the famous drink the Pisco Sour. The Nazca people lived near the coast and in an area called Ica.
