The Ancient Shark Hunters of Peru

This video follows on from my recent look at the new geoglyphs found in the Palpa Province of Peru, that pre-date the famous Nazca Lines, and I’m specifically looking at this ancient geoglyph, which experts say portrays an Orca whale. The 230 foot long figure of the so-called orca, which experts say was considered a powerful, semi-mythical creature in ancient Peruvian lore, may be 2,000 years old. It is therefore one of the oldest geoglyphs in the Palpa region but is this actually depicting an orca whale, or is it in fact a shark? Watch the video to learn more.
