Lesson 6－Part 1
Have you ever heard of the lines and figures /
of Nazca in Peru? //
They are very large lines and pictures of animals /
drawn on the ground. //
They are over 1,500 years old, /
but people only discovered them /
after planes began to fly over the region. //
That is because the picture are too large /
to see the whole picture of the images/
from the ground. //
Many people still wonder /
why such large drawings were made. //
One German woman, /
Maria Reiche, /
studied the lines and drawings for years. //
She believed /
that each figure was a symbol of the stars. //
She thought /
all the figures together /
were a kind of calendar. //
Maria studied the mystery of Nazca /
for more than 50 years. //
However, /
she only started her study /
by chance. //
