Ancient Peru rock lines may have shown the way to trade fairs, study suggests Lines of rocks piled in the coastal desert in Peru may have shown the way to ancient trade fairs around 300 B.C., according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lines were laid by the Paracas people, who settled ancient Peru on the Andean coast. If you want people to come to your trade fair, you have to point the way. These lines point straight to the ceremonial mounds on the coast where people could trade, said University of California at Los Angeles researcher Charles Stanish, co-author of the study. news.nationalgeographic/news/2014/05/140505-paracas-rock-solstice-geoglyphs-archaeology-science/
