Nasca Culture

Biography:

The Nasca culture was an archaeological culture that flourished from c. 100 BC to 800 AD beside the arid, southern coast of Peru in the river valleys of the Rio Grande de Nazca drainage and the Ica Valley. They were known for their crafts and technologies such as ceramics, textiles, and geoglyphs. The Nasca culture is also famous for two extensive construction projects: the Nazca Lines and puquios, underground aqueducts for providing water in the arid environment.
