Machu Picchu: Inca legend lost above the clouds

Machu Picchu: Inca legend lost above the clouds

Despite all the progress and technology, but there are many gas past still perplexed our brain to this day today, you'll see another mystery of the gas through the legendary city did not see the like before, because we are so seldom seen we should go up to 2340 meters altitude in the Andes mountains on the top of a mountain, surprised by this mysterious city :

What you see in this picture the majestic Machu Picchu city built by people of the Incas in Peru for more than 600 a year!

Interestingly enough, this city was discovered by accident by American Explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911, while he was climbing up a mountain for the wall looking for the effects of the Incas destroyed by Spaniards, to discover the city's hidden amid the clouds organize and build. So assume Machu Picchu is also the name of lost city!

Machu Picchu means (alankih) the top of the mountain, there is a city on the brink of amateurs take out slope length 600 m is covered with dense forests, while the bottom of the river Oulu Bemba to paint all these solemn spectacle of this mysterious city. So UNESCO has classified this world heritage city in 1983, as well as selected into one of the new seven wonders of the world!

Although the Inca people evidence of a great civilization, but these people did not know writing, so there is no historical record tells his story or the story of the city. And all we have about this civilization is what has been passed down through the generations!

So scientists or researchers do not know the history of this city or building because of its construction, but scientists think they weren't living but of sacrifice, where scientists found the bodies of a large number of women in the city. Which is consistent with what we know of the worship of the Sun and the Inca people thought that women are the daughters of the sacred Sun



Despite the beauty and the genius of the place, but this is not the only excellence for Machu Picchu, but strange that this city is built in a contemporary style is not suited to an ancient civilization did not know writing!

The city contains a small tidy streets, buildings, palaces and gardens and irrigation channels and pools, and wonderful that the whole city is built of large stones, stacked on top of each other without any tools installed!

So (as with the pyramids) many people appeared who claimed that there was space creatures descend on this place and built this city!

And if it happened with pyramids too maybe one day called Jews they builders that city!
