Unusual image of a cat found inscribed on the desert plains of Peru

Supernatural sightings have been taking place for several hundred years and various bizarre images have been found in the past. One search is the image of a cat that has been found to be etched into the desert among the Nazca lines in Peru. This feline geoglyph has been dated to be as old as 200 BC. This was found during work that was taking place at a UNESCO World Heritage site.

“The figure was scarcely visible and was about to disappear because it’s situated on quite a steep slope that’s prone to the effects of natural erosion,” Peru’s culture ministry said in a statement this week.

Archaeologists claim that over 80-100 search figures have emerged in this valleys over the past few years, with all of them being connected to the Nazca culture. The cat is dated to have been drawn in the late Paracas era which lasted from 500 BC to 200 AD

A UNESCO world heritage site since 1994, the Nazca Lines, which are made up of hundreds of geometric and zoomorphic images, were created by removing rocks and earth to reveal the contrasting materials below. They lie 250 miles (400km) south of Lima and cover about 450 sq km (175 sq miles) of Peru’s arid coastal plain.  Because the regions is isolated and has a dry, windless, stable climate, the lines have mostly been preserved naturally. Earlier images of heron, monkey, lizard, hummingbird, spider, fish, condor,  dog, and a human have been found.
