In Peru, very large 'drawings' of animals and 1,300 kilometres of straight lines cover more than 500 square kilometres of land. These were made by the Nazca people thousands of years ago. Many of the animal shapes are as big as two football fields. You can't see them from the ground because they are so large, in fact scientists have to look at them in helicopters. There are many questions about the Nazca Lines. Why are they so large? How could the Nazca people make perfect shapes like these when they couldn't see them from the ground? Who or what were they made for? Perhaps they were used to predict the weather and the best time for planting crops. Some people think the lines have a religious meaning.
Listen to the dictation here:
Answer the questions
- Where can you find the Nazca Lines?
- How big are the animal 'drawings'?
- What do people think the drawings mean?
- What do you think the animal is in this picture?
- How do scientists look at the drawings?
I've finished!
