#AI-accelerated Nazca survey nearly doubles the number of known figurative #geoglyphs and sheds light on their purpose
"While it “took nearly a century to discover a total of 430 figurative Nazca geoglyphs”, using an AI system covering the entire Nazca region it “took just six months to discover 303 new figurative geoglyphs”.
The AI model efficiently spotted many of the smaller relief-type geoglyphs which were harder to see with the naked eye.
