2. Located in Peru, at an elevation of
2,430 meters above sea level we
find Machu Picchu, a 15-century
Inca City situated on a mountain
ridge above the so-called Sacred
Valley.
Archaeologists have been baffled
by the fact that most of the
junctions in the central city are so
perfect that not even a blade of
grass can fit between the stones.
3. The most significant mystery at Machu Picchu is
without a doubt the “Intihuatana.” This giant rock
situated on a raised platform that towers above the
main plaza were believed to be a sundial.
4. This destination is believed to
be the city which was built and
chosen by the Sun god Inti, to
show signs of power and
proximity to the sun, which are
commonly believed by the
inhabitants near the ruins.
However, most historians and
archeologists tend to think that
it was just a regular city built
by the Inkas.
