Atacama Giant

Anthropomorphic geoglyph 119 m tall on the slope of Cerro Unita in Chile's Atacama Desert, the largest prehispanic human figure in the world. The points on its head may have worked as a lunar sighting device for reading the season - critical knowledge in a desert where rain has to be predicted.
