The Nazca Lines: Giant Drawings for the Gods

13m | Nov 6, 2026

Scratched into a Peruvian desert two thousand years ago are enormous drawings, a hummingbird, a monkey, a spider, lines running arrow-straight for miles, so vast you can only see them from the sky. For decades people claimed they were runways for aliens. The truth is stranger and far more human.

In this episode of Six Feet of History, August Mercer explains who really made the Nazca Lines, how they did it without ever seeing them from above, and the desperate prayer for water that drove an entire people to draw to the heavens. Six Feet of History is a daily true history podcast digging up the dark, forgotten, and untold stories of the past. New episode every day.
