The Nazca lived near the southern coast of Peru from 100 BCE to 800 CE.

• Early Nazca society was made up of local chiefdoms and regional centers of power 
• The Nazca are known for their Nazca Lines: geometric shapes, lines, and animal figures carved into the desert floor.
• Like the Moche, the Nazca decline was likely due to environmental changes.

Below, you can see a famous example of one of the Nazca lines in the shape of a hummingbird
