 The legend tells that before Maria Reiche started her investigations about the Nasca Lines, she had an accident at Cusco, which due to an infection, led her to lose a finger. Nonetheless, months later, she reached the Nasca Pampas in a Volkswagen Beetle, with many brooms, sheets to cover herself from the sand and the sun, and nine fingers. She literally swoop the desert with her brooms, unveiling inch by inch those mysterious figures. But when she discovered that the "hands" figure as well as the "monkey figure had only nine fingers, she understood that finally she had found her destiny. Whether we agree or not with her theories, this edition is homage to that woman that gave her life to preserve a treasure that was not even at her home country, and that is because she understood that the world belongs to all of us. |
