Paracas Candelabra

Archeological Site Peru, Peru

The Candelabrum of Paracas, also called the Candelabrum of the Andes, is a prehistoric geoglyph found on the north face of the Paracas Peninsula in Pisco Bay. The drawing has a depth of approximately 2 feet, and a height of 595 feet, large enough to be seen 12 miles out to sea. Different popular beliefs have arisen regarding his creations: one attributes it to José de San Martín; another suggests it is a Masonic symbol; and yet another that the sailors made it as a sign that they could see from the sea to make landfall.
