An ancient Peruvian mystery, involving one of the many creations by the
Nazca civilization, has been solved. By studying satellite imagery,
researchers have finally deciphered the true intention of Puquios, a
series of spiral funnels that bore deep into the soil and led to an
intricate maze of interconnected underground canals.

The system allowed the area, which faced year-long droughts, to have perpetual access to water through underground channels, reported the Huffington Post. The hypothesis will be published in Ancient Nasca World: New Insights from Science and Archaeology.
