The geoglyphs date between 100 BCE and 300 CE approximately 1,700 to 2,100 years ago

The massive, carved trenches — attributed by some to aliens — are the latest addition to over 800 straight lines, 300 geometric figures, and 70 animal and plant designs, which also called biomorphs, according to National Geographic.
