No real reason other than I was searching for something else, spotted a post about the #Paracas people, remembered our visit to #Peru, and felt like sharing the #ParacasCandelabra we saw there in 2019. Similar to the #NazcaLines but older, this #geoglyph is 181 metres high, dates from around 200BCE, and can be seen from 20km away at sea.

@inti I call this Pueblo Colorado Circle. Are #geoglyph or #intaglio better?
Another #GreatCircle on #PachaMama. Outlines in my graphic are relative sizes.
#Stonehenge fits inside the tiny circle beside #NewarkOctagon.
