Maria Reiche (1903-1998) was a German archaeologist, mathematician, and translator known for her research on the Nazca Lines in Peru. Born in Dresden, she worked as a teacher before dedicating her life to studying these geoglyphs. Reiche believed the lines served as a solar calendar and an astronomical observatory. She spent her time mapping the site, gaining support from the Peruvian Air Force for aerial photography. An advocate for the preservation of the Nazca Lines, she received honors for her efforts, including Peruvian citizenship and a UNESCO designation for the site.
