Maria Reiche
Maria Reiche (19031998) was a German-born mathematician and archaeologist who is famous for her research in the Nazca lines in Peru, beginning in 1940. She helped educate people about the resource and gain government recognition and preservation of the property. In 1995 the Nazca Lines were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Maria Reiche was born May 15, 1903 in Dresden. She studied mathematics, geography and languages at the Dresden Technical University.
In 1940 Reiche became an assistant to American archaeologist Paul Kosok, who had discovered the Nazca lines. Around 1946 she began to map the figures in Nazca. After Kosok left in 1948, she continued the work and mapped the area.
