Geoglyph of a Coiled Snake

Posted by c tito young on 27 January 2021 in English. Last updated on 11 March 2021.

The geoglyph of a coiled snake 100m wide x 125m long (including the coil) and oriented in a northeast (head) to southwest (coil including tail) direction is adjacent (approx. 5m) to some Nazca lines and similar geometrical shapes. The coil followed by a straight body, eye, wide open mouth and forked tongue makes the snake look like its hissing as a warning. The snake appears to sit on a trapezoid shaped feature. It is possible that the snake is inside a box or container. It is difficult to tell more about what this snake is doing.
