An innocent plane ride in 1930 brought to light the giant geoglyphs carved into the plains of Peru. Called the Nazca lines because of the Nazca people who drew them, they vary in shapes and sizes. Some carvings represent birds while others show monkeys, lizards and even sharks. Luckily due to stable and dry conditions, these markings of art remain intact and preserved. One generally-accepted reasoning for these works is the relation to astronomy and cosmology.

The population during the Zhou Dynasty would honor their prestigious figures by burying them with chariots and horses. We know this since the discovery of 3,000 year-old tombs in Luoyang, China. The graves contained bronze, ceramics and wooden chariots which surprised archaeologists. The reason for their surprise was due to the fact that other ancient tombs had been raided and robbed of their riches.
