CUSCO HISTORY : The lost City of The Incas MACHU PICCHU


Hanging from the clouds, the citadel of Machu Picchu- unknown to the Spanish conquerors of the Incas- remained hidden from the outside world until discovered by explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911.

Excavations supported by the National Geographic Society and Yale University drew back the green veil of jungle to reveal the most spectacular remnant of the Incas vast empire ever found intact. Scores of sparkling granite shrines, fountains lodgings, and steep stairways encrust the saddle between pinnacles some 2,000 feet above the Amazon-bound Urubamba River in Peru.

Here the "Sons of the Sun," as the Inca lords called themselves, worshiped their host of gods, including the mighty Inti, who personified the sun itself. A sacred rock is called the "hitching post of the sun," reflecting a tradition that worshipers once tethered the god to it, lesthe stray too far from their domain.

Bingham speculated that a remnant of Inca nobility took refuge here after the Spaniards dismambered their realm in the 1500's. Later investigators concluded that it was a militarygarrison. In any case, sustaining the mountaintop aerie without an empire apparently proved impossible. Its occupants eventually melted away into the jungle, which concealed Machu Picchu from outsiders' eyes for nearly four centuries.

Its spectacular setting on a high precipice between steep mountain peaks has made it one the most famous archaeological monuments in the world.

Machu Picchu, situated about 80 Km (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco, Peru , is an ancient Inca town overlooking the Urubamba Valley. The City, built atop a mountain in the Peruvian Andes, had been forgotten for more than three centuries, when it was discovered by the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911. Known to the Incas as Vilcapampa, the once-fortified city, was never found by the Spanish .

The ruins are located about 2400m. above the sea level on the eastern slopes of the Andes, near the edge of the warm humid Montaña region . The abandoned site was covered with dense vegetation and remained essentially unknown until its discovery in 1911.

Machu Picchu is best known for its architecture, which combines fine stone buildings with extensive agriculture terraces, creating the appearance of a settlement literally carved out of the mountainsides. The style of its buildings and pottery as well as its careful planning suggest that the town was built under the supervision of the Inca State, which was centered at Cuzco. Perhaps the most famous feature of the site is a carved natural stone, known as "Intihuatana", enclosed by curved walls of dressed stone with trapezoidal windows. The stone and its complex of surrounding walls are probably related to the sun religion of the Inca as well as to their veneration of certain natural stones
