Join a team of archaeologists and the Discovery Channel in an investigation into the mysterious lines of the Nazca region in Peru.

See a premier exhibition of pottery and textiles, musical instruments, and mummies from this long-forgotten, pre-Columbian civilization and visit Cahuachi, a buried city of pyramids and ceremonial buildings which may have once been the religious capital of the Nazca people
