White Cliffs of Dover
The White Cliffs of Dover are a well-known symbol of England’s coastline, both for their breathtaking look and historical significance. The chalk cliffs that run along the English Channel coast have played an important role in the country’s history and cultural identity. From prehistoric times to the World Wars, the cliffs have served as a natural defense, a symbol of hope, and a gateway to Europe.
Exhibition II
Nazca Lines site
The Nazca Lines site is a mystery and magnificent archaeological gem located in the dry coastal plains of southern Peru. The Nazca Lines are a massive and intricate network of geoglyphs showing animals, plants, and geometric shapes that were created between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D. The exact purpose and meaning of these huge designs are unknown, making them an intriguing subject of study and discussion.
