Findings this month of geoglyphs, which date back more than 2,000 years, are smaller and can be seen from the ground

Jorge Olano, head archaeologist for the Nazca Lines research program, said the newly discovered figures averaged between 2 and 6 meters in length. The purpose of the Nazca Lines, which could only be seen from the air, remains a mystery. The figures, iconic vestiges of Peru’s rich history, are about a three-hour drive from the capital, Lima.
Yamagata University said the research will be used in artificial intelligence-based surveys to help inform the lines’ preservation.

Time for a ‘hard reset’ on ‘lumpy’ visa process for university graduatesUniversities Australia CEO Catriona Jackson says it is time for a “hard reset” on the “lumpy and slow” visa process for university graduates. “There’s over 100 different kinds of visa class, that makes it really complicated, really untransparent for those applying in the first place,” she told Sky News Australia. “When they get to that graduate stage where they’ve already made a big investment in Australia … in some cases we make them wait 10 months before they get the visa, which means they can actually apply their trade – that’s just silly. “We’re really pleased to see the government is putting a big wash through the migrations system.”
