Nazca lines

Post by juamei » Wed Apr 10, 2013 7:41 am

For anyone that missed it, a quarrying company in Paru has managed to destroy some of the Nazca lines with heavy machinery. Fortunately not the most famous icons "just" some geometric patterns. The lines are protected so we should see the company prosecuted, be interesting to see what sort of sentence they get.

There are a few urls for this, I think this is the first english report:

And this is the Spanish one which Chrome translates automajicaly.

I think the most damning quote was "it's our land, we can do what we want"
