Delay? (heheh...) NOT.

The response to your circles chained together might possibly be a very sad and infuriating one.
I would go so far as to say some enthusiastic young Peruvians got together with powerful cars and bikes and do-nutted all over the place. You can see a little south of your marker that someone has tried to create an insect of some sort, and the double tyre lines to make the wings are clearly visible, even with the low resolution.
Whilst this area is of international interest, it is open desert and obviously the government of Peru doesn't see the need to protect it properly. I guess it is only a matter of time before they stop trying to create their own symbols and decide to "add" to the existing symbols. This would indeed be a truly great loss.

Adding to my previous post, you can even see looking at some of the famous lines in the vicinity of the donuts that the actual lines themselves seem to have been used as drag strips, ruining the original and untouched ancient surface that may have yielded clues about the creation of these lines.
Any of you guys in the USA might want to write to your government, senators or local politicians to see if pressure can be put on Peru to protect this area better.

Here's the Nazca Mandala.
The Mandala is extremely remote and sits atop an arid mountain plateau. The image appears to have been carved with exceptional precision. A large square measures 180 feet across while an inner circle spans the same diameter. Several smaller squares, about 20 feet wide, appear to have been etched in the landscape along with an assortment of stategically placed holes.

As it says, it appears to be an animal with horns, somewhat resembling a lobster. Very strange...
