For nearly 100 years, scientists have been perplexed by the famous Nazca geoglyphs – ancient patterns in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. Now, with the help of AI, researchers have discovered another 303 drawings – and they're possibly the most bizarre yet. Among them are alien-like figures, killer whales holding knives, cats, camels and a figure that looks like Pixar's Wall-E robot. Photos show some of the new discoveries, with lines manually added on the images to emphasize the original lines, which have faded due to erosion. The mysterious Nazca glyphs may date back to 400 BC, but scientists are still unsure what their exact purpose was, if any.

Researchers have discovered another 168 geoglyphs made in the soil of Peru's Nazca Desert, known as the Nazca lines. The newly-discovered drawings – identified by a team at Yamagata University in Japan – depict humans, camelids, birds, killer whales, felines and snakes. One of the human drawings looks like Homer Simpson, with big cartoon eyes and a patch of what looks like stubble around the mouth. These 168 newly-found geoglyphs are thought to date between 100 BC and AD 300, according to experts, but other Nazca lines may go back even further to 400 BC. The Nazca lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru.

Artificial intelligence has helped archaeologists uncover an ancient lost work of art. The Nazca Lines in Peru are ancient geoglyphs, images carved into the landscape. First formally studied in 1926, they depict people, animals, plants, and geometric shapes. The formations vary in size, with some of the biggest running up to 30 miles long. Their exact purpose is unknown, although some archaeologists think they may have had religious or spiritual significance.
