00:00The Paracas Candelibra, also called the Candelibra of the Andes, is one of Peru's most mysterious

00:07landmarks.

00:08It is a giant geoglyph carved into the sandy hills of the Paracas Peninsula facing the

00:14Pacific Ocean.

00:15This enormous figure is about 180 meters tall, making it visible from far out at sea.

00:22Its shapes look like a giant candlestick or three-bronched candelibra, which is why it

00:27got its name.

00:29The design is made up of deep, straight lines dug into the hillside.

00:33Even though it was created thousands of years ago, it has survived strong winds and heavy

00:39weather.

00:40Because the dry desert climate protects it from above, it stands out clearly against the sandy

00:47background, making it an unforgettable sight.

00:50The big mystery is who actually made the Paracas Candelibra.

00:55Most experts believe it was built by the Paracas culture, a people who lived in that area between

01:01800 to 100 BC.

01:03However, there are still debates and some researchers think it could have been created even earlier

01:10or later by other cultures.

01:11No one knows for sure.

01:13Over the years, many theories have been suggested about why this geoglyph was created.

01:20Some scholars believe it was a navigational tool for ancient sailors, acting like a lighthouse

01:25to guide them along Peru's coastal line.

01:29Others think it had a religious meaning, perhaps connected to fatality rituals, the stars or

01:35spiritual ceremonies.

01:36There is also the idea that it was a symbol of power, marking charity or serving as a form

01:43of communication between different groups.

01:45Beyond science, legends have also surrounded the candelibra.

01:49Some stories connected to the Nazca lines, which are also giant geoglyph founds further south

01:55in Peru.

01:57Others link it to the ancient people or even extraterrestrial visitors, showing how deeply

02:03mysterious and fascinating this geoglyph remains.

02:06Today, the Paracas Candelibra continues to amaze visitors from around the world.

02:12Tourists can view it from boats in the nearby bay or from the air.

02:17It has become not only an important archaeological wonder, but also a symbol of Peru's ancient

02:23cultures and their creativity.

02:26Even with all the research and theories, the true meaning of the Paracas Candelibra is still

02:31unknown.

02:32Was it a guide for sailors to sacred symbol or something else entirely?

02:37This unanswered question is what makes it one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of

02:42South America.
