Some researchers, like Dr. Maria Reiche, who for more than 50 years he studied the area believe that it is the largest astronomical observatory in the world, others such as Johan Reinhard, the principal investigator of the shrines in Peru, they think that the lines were sacred trails in the ceremonies of worship of water and soil fertility. Recent theories claim that the Nazca Lines are connected to groundwater.
