ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Paracas Candelabra

So imagine a really big beach, like a big sandbox. In Peru, which is a country far away, there is a beach there that has a really cool thing on it that looks like a giant drawing in the sand. This drawing is called the Paracas Candelabra.

It is so big that you can see it from far away, like a plane. It's really big, about 600 feet (183 m) tall and 200 feet (61 m) wide. That's like as big as a 20 story building!

The Paracas Candelabra is made by removing the sand to show the dark earth underneath. People think it was made a long long time ago, maybe even before the Inca people who lived in Peru a long time ago.

Some people think that it is a symbol of something, like a message from people who lived a long time ago. Other people think it's just a pretty picture in the sand. No one really knows for sure.

But whatever it means, the Paracas Candelabra is a really cool thing to see if you ever go to the beach in Peru!
