Geoglyph of a Jumping Man

Posted by c tito young on 15 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 10 March 2021.

A 150m Long x 50m Wide geoglyph of a jumping man oriented north to south situated almost upside-down on a moderately sloped hillside that changes elevation almost 40m. The abstract man, seemingly with an outstretched arm over his head and appears too want to take off in flight.
This depictions suggests using natural formation and etchings to create the face and the geoglyph figure. The jumping man has a triangle shaped head, which seems to be referring to the massive numbers of triangles all over the Nazca valley. The triangle could have some references to the elongated head as well.
