Blue-black sky of the high Atacama desert
The air’s thin, the landscape’s stark and the architecture’s austere.

Atacama Desert.Chile.
Atacama Giant, Cerro Unitas, Atacama Desert, Chile,
It is the largest prehistoric anthropomorphic figure in the world with a length of 119 meters and represented a deity for the local inhabitants from AD 1000 to 1400.
The geoglyphs of the Atacama Desert were built using three essential methods, ‘extractive’, ‘additive’ and ‘mixed’.
The figure was an early astronomical calendar for knowing where the moon would set; by knowing this the day, crop cycle, and season could be determined. The points on the top and side of the head would say what season it would be depending on their alignment with the moon, which was important in determining when the rainy season would come in the barren Atacama.

People stroll amid flowers blooming in the Huasco region on the Atacama desert, some 600 km north of Santiago, on August 26,2017. A gigantic mantle of multicolored flowers covers the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world. In years of very heavy seasonal rains a natural phenomenon known as the Desert in Bloom occurs, making the seeds of some 200 desert plants to germinate suddenly some two months after the precipitations.
