Peru's Nazca lines were paths for prehistoric culture:
Japanese researchers
Tokyo, 16 Jan (EFE).- The mysteries shrouding Peru's
Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades. Now,
a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new
theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served
as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of
communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did
(communicate).»
The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were
used as a means of prehistoric communication
Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not
discovered until 1930 because these could only be
appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's
surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers
started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and
more recently using drones, and have now identified
hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a
hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale,
a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech
giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the
location of more figures and help with deciphering their
meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that
with AI we can check whether theories are correct or
suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the
expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to
the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their
conservation from both the weather and mining and
agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the
people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to
see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the
information with the local people because we know that
they will respect and defend them, because it is the work
of their ancestors» Sakai says. EFE

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the
books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a
dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful
and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but
a place where you can spend time freely, take part in
discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author
readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the
community. Books can be returned either directly to the
library or via parcel lockers outside the station,
available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station
with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm,
Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural
moments. By meeting people where they are, literally
underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading.
It’s redefining what public space can offer.

For Makowski, the location is just as important as the books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but a place where you can spend time freely, take part in discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the community. Books can be returned either directly to the library or via parcel lockers outside the station, available around the clock.

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
