The Nazca culture emerged during the Early Intermediate Period on the southern coast of Peru. The Nazca lines are geoglyphs created on the desert landscape during the time of the Nazca society. They are found across the entire Nazca pampa that is about 220km2 and they include lines, polygons and zoomorphic figures. (Ruggles and Saunders 2012:1126) Due to the environmental conditions, they are still visible and can be studied today.
Even if a consensus seems to have been reached, for example on the moment of their construction, the meaning of those geoglyphs is still an issue. In this research paper, I will focus on the debate about the meaning of the Nazca Lines. Even if there are many different theories, I will focus on two theories. The
