I'm glad I watched this video because I didn't know much about Machu Picchu before. But now, I know that Machu Picchu has ruins. It even has a place that was meant to be for Emperor and his family to relax. Then, the estate was abandoned a century later.

It's amazing to see the people and sloths, monkeys live in harmony in Machu Picchu. The ruins on the mountains make me wonder how magnificent the original building would have been.

Long ago the Inca civilization built a city out of stone 1,600 feet above the river valley below. It is a mysterious engineering marvel. There over 170 buildings, thousands of stone steps, several temples and 16 fountains. The Incas needed a lot of stone to build Machu Picchu. Their source was massive lands of white granite. The quality of the stonework is legendary! After 500 years it is impossible to insert a knife into the walls of the stones. When the Incas built the city they were not supplied with iron or steel chisels to carve the stone. Instead they worked with hamerstone, a river rock. This tells us that we don't have to have the most classified tools to build something great. Also the city has terraces which helps the city grow crops and it prevents the city from sliding off the mountain. There are hundreds of these in Machu Picchu. They cope with 79 inches of rainfall. Terraces is the reason for the city existing for hundreds of years. Machu Picchu is so unique and interesting!

I think that it is truly amazing how the Incas were able to build something like this just with their hands. Machu Picchu was built with many stones, that weigh hundreds of pounds, some even thousands! It's really a wonder how the Incas were able to do to something like this without technology. I wonder how many years or possibly decades it would've taken to build Machu Picchu, because the Incas had to do it with just their hands, and it took so many stone bricks to build all of Machu Picchu, it almost seems impossible!
