Скачать или смотреть Machu Picchu: The Inca City the Spanish Never Found

Perched high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time—and one of the most mysterious.


Built around 1450 by Inca emperor Pachacuti, this remote site served as both a royal estate and religious center. With temples, terraces, and jigsaw-puzzle stonework, it was a marvel of Inca engineering—constructed without mortar, yet standing strong for centuries.


So remote, the Spanish conquistadors never found it. It remained hidden until 1911, when American explorer Hiram Bingham stumbled upon it while searching for a different lost city.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu continues to draw adventurers, historians—and yes, llama-loving tourists—from all over the globe.
