Video description: Paramount has released yet another new movie trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. One of the shots that is worth noting involves a plane flying over the Nazca Lines (seen
above), one of Peru's main tourist attractions. "Once the archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru."
The Nazca Lines (Nasca Lines), are a set
of zoomorphic, phytomorphic and geometric figures (lines, triangles,
trapezoids, circles, spirals, birds, a spider, a monkey, flowers) that
appear engraved in the surface of the Nazca desert, a high arid plateau that
stretches 37 miles between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on a large flat area
of southern Peru. The Nazca Lines are one of the mysteries of the ancient
world. They are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs (drawings on the
ground) in the world.
