A design depicting a huge cat has been discovered in Peru’s Nazca Desert. The new Nazca Lines etching, known as a geoglyph and showing a 120-foot long feline, lay undiscovered for nearly 2,000 years on a hill beside the Pan-American Highway stretching from Alaska to Argentina. Archeologist Jhonny Isla, in charge of the management system for the Nazca-Palpa Archeological Park, said it had been found during work to improve an access to a visitor look-out point enabling people to view the giant figures that make up the mysterious Nazca Lines. He told local press: “We realised the access to the look-out point ran over a geoglyph and we decided to alter it because it’s not possible to promote access by damaging heritage. “The additional motive was that access was complicated and we wanted to make it safer.
