Geoglyphs are figures drawn on the ground that can be seen from a great height. In the old days, such drawings were depicted for religious purposes. These days they are made as a joke. Below are 10 of the most interesting drawings from all over the world.
Long man

This drawing is located in Wilmington, England. The length of the drawing is 72 meters. The figure was created in the 16th or 17th century and is believed to be a political satire. During the Second World War, the drawing was painted over in green, since German pilots could use it as a guide.
The Giant of Cerne Ebbas

Located in Cerne Ebbas, England, the figure is 55 meters long and 51 meters wide. The depth of the trench is 30 centimeters. It is unclear who exactly is the author of the drawing, but the first mentions of it date back to the 18th century. According to legend, a woman who falls asleep on a figure will be healed of infertility.
Guitar

This drawing represents an entire forest planted by Argentine farmer Pedro Martin Ureta in memory of his wife. The woman has always loved the guitars and the bird's eye view of the farm. The farmer planted the forest with his sons. It took about 7 thousand trees to create the picture. The body and neck of the instrument are made of cypress, and the strings are made of eucalyptus.
