    I really like the wording National Geographic uses at 2:34 - “It wasn’t until the early 20th century when Melchor Arteaga, a local farmer debuted Machu Picchu to outsiders when he led Yale University professor Hiram Bingham to the site”. Too often content creators credit foreigners for ‘discovering’ historic ruins when more often than not, locals have known about these places for generations.

      True....but....it was being regularly looted, was very overgrown, and was not preserved in any way. Bingham brought Machu Picchu to the world's attention which lead to massive excavation and preservation efforts started by his Yale team and then handed off to the Peruvian government.

      Do a quick search on Hiram and see his ties to Freemasonry, Yale and Politics.
      His lodge says he discovered Machu Pichu on their website.

I lost like 10 pounds in those 4 days xD it was all worth it though when youre hiking and you start to see the clouds part and see this absolutely mind blowing view of the city. Its something I will never forget.

    I saw Machu Picchu for the first time on the National Geographic Channel. They say that a settlement must be close to a source of water for life. This reminds me of the ancient settlement of the wawonii's kingdom which is very close to several springs. Our palace was also completely abandoned in 1745 after King Mbeoga died. People call the palace as "Watuntinapi" or Watuntumapi". Until now this place was heard from several people who searched the location, very few were able to find it. That's why I called it the secret palace of the wawonii kingdom.
    But I was so amazed by Machu Picchu. It was like a very amazing palace. so wonderful.

And in first few years, when they met Whites, they met 100-200 people. They ignor them. They haven't hed met such a peoples and animals (horses) before. When Spanish attacked them with thousends of indians from other ''kingdomds'', and unknown diseases, they lost. They hadn't had 100 years to adept.

      Okay, the Spanish had the Inquisition. Crusades? How about that? Must have been fun right? and No, they didn't have electricity in Europe in those times either. "cutting stones nicely"? Is that all you get from Inca architecture?
      Comparing African "tribes" to the Inca? Learn the meaning of the word "civilization" first.
      Savagery?
      Let's see, the Greeks poisoned wells, and took young girls to live with old men, not to mention of course their fascination with young boys. Would you have left your child for them to babysit for a while?
      The Romans? Crucifixion anyone? Massive public spectacles where people were eaten by beasts to the cheers of the crowd? I wonder how much a ticket to one of those events was or was it free, so that anyone could enjoy the benefits of Roman civilization? Genocide anyone? What did Columbus do to the indigenous people of the Caribbean islands again?

      Many ancient civilizations did NOT have written script. The ones that did, like Greece and Egypt, were exceptions. For the majority of human history, most civilizations had oral traditions. They passed on knowledge and history through orators who spoke before citizens regularly. Of course, as time goes on those words are spoken less and less until they don't exist anymore

Not to mention a much higher mountain near there named Wayna Picchu. Plus Peru has got other amazing places built on high mountains, like Pisac and many more. In conclusion it may be a small place but it's where the Incas built it which leaves any person perplexed. I wish I had mo money and I would return to visit. 👍👍👍

      The Khmer Empire built a mountain temple complex called Preah Vihear that rival this in size but it's only 600 meters high compare to Macchu Picchu 2,400 meters. But the Preah Vihear is 500 years older than Macchu Picchu. The view on top of Preah Vihear is equally beautiful like Macchu Picchu. Macchu picchu has no architecture, carvings, arches, and such. Not that impressive to me compare to Preah Vihear temple.

    To solve that problem, Peruvian government are building a cableway to oversee the ruins, what a shame. If you go there this year, do the impossible to get the Huayna Picchu tour as well, its a huge stairs that leads you to the top of the mountain. Those tickets are hard to get, usually are sold in the first day, good luck.

It is also frustrating how there wasn't any written language or records to explain the site, but that's what makes it more interesting.

This place called Malinalco is close to Mexico City, and is waiting for you to visit and make it famouse arround the world.

      hey it's a temple the Incas prayed for god Sun and Moon. Moon represent mother (machu/matha )Sun represent father (Pichu/Pithruu).

      I'm from Cusco, Peru where Machupicchu is. Only machupicchu was abandoned because only Royalty and servants lived over there. The remaining population still live around many towns around machupicchu. Indigenous people are pretty much alive and thriving with still many ways and customs from Inca times.

    There are some obvious contradictions in this video. At 01:10 - 01:16 it says, 'The stones of Machu Picchu were cut so precisely that they snugly fit together'. Yet in the photo that accompanies this narration the stones at the bottom of the construction are cut precisely, but the stones at the top are not and seem to have a binding agent. There are clearly two different types of construction.
    It goes onto say at 01:19 - 01:30:
    'Machu Picchu often experience earthquakes but because of the stones exceptional cut and fit, they bounce during tremors and then are able to easily fall back into position.'
    However, this only applies to the stones at the bottom of the construction, not those on top. And in fact, in the accompanying animation, we only see the stones at the bottom with the exceptional cut and fit; the stones on top of them, that are less well cut, are left out of the animation, except for one row.
    So my question is, would the stones on top of the construction, which do not have an exceptional cut and fit, also bounce back into position? How exactly?!

    • @QuadRipper
      @QuadRipper 4 года назад +2

      Alot of these videos and archaeologists pass over very important facts. Your exactly right, and there are several other ancient sites that are similar especially some of the megalithic ones. They have laser type precision and simetimes stones larger than we can move in present day at the bottom, but on top is basic stone wall building almost as if a significant loss in knowledge or technology took place prior to building the top of walls. This seems to indicate that the original structures are much older than what is documented, and newer construction happened after discovery of a place that was already once lost.

      It's also important to remember that the Inca civilization devoted their lifes to worship the gods.... And the gods ask them to make sacrifices of young people ...a male or female family member.... Who are this gods ??? Only demons ask humans to make those sacrifices..... The creator of mankind forbidden those sacrifices.... This is probably one of the reason Mach Pichu is so deep hiding in the mountains......

    "Nonetheless, the stones of Machu Picchu were cut so precisely that they ... fit together"
    This is just a very small portion of Machu Picchu. Only the small core exists out a few remains of precisely and big fitting stones. All other remains around it are just stapled boulders, with no much precision envolved.
