Since their discovery, various theories have been proposed regarding the methods and motivations underlying the  construction of geoglyphs around the world.  Our purpose is not to speculate about reasons, nor methods and practices.

Our sole mission is to document these fragile artifacts of culture past, for permanent record, for education, and to aid in the development of policies that will preserve them for generations to come.

The Registry:

Registration is open to anyone.  There are no fees.  Simply enter the information in our form to register a geoglyph.  Duplication is accepted, but duplicate entries will be deleted.

Please fill in the form to the best of your ability.  In the case of legitimate new discoveries, the new identification will be passed to the cultural entity in the host country, and to researchers involved in the specific area, for further investigation.

Coordinates are critical to the registry process.  Please enter accurate coordinates, since without them it is difficult to locate the geoglyph referenced. 

We encourage investigators to either enter their geoglyphs via the form, or you may submit multiple geoglyph information via spreadsheet (with columns representing our fields) to our email address below.

Inquiries:

You may email us about a geoglyph to inquire if it is already in the registry.  It is best to send us a Google Earth .kmz file with the location information (if possible).
