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.
That is the exact point, locals know lot of local knowledge but due to lack of travelling, travellers take that knowledge and spread it world wide. They should credit locals for finding out about their own locality. It would be unfair if they didnt do that. Locals should try to tell travellers to keep the local information from spreading. Although how they wud have communicated that is something I cant imagine. But locals should get their credit for report card on humanity n human rights.
Bible has it that nomad wud pitch their tents and wud destory everything locals had and used it for themselves until they moved on to next place for pitching their tents. Lord taught locals to fight the nomads and claim their lands from nomads. Everything is there in the Bible what has been happening with humanity ever since it was created.
Hiram Bingham III saved the National Geographic magazine with his discovery of Machu Picchu. Subscriptions tripled because people wanted to see this amazing place. They failed to mention that part.
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.
Just because they're an old civilization doesn't mean they're primitive. Clearly for their time they were far from primitive to be able to build something as remarkable as this
bodybuildingbooks actually you are right. I don't think they are primitive. Us modern day people cant even make city's that can survive earthquakes lol. What i should of said would be old or ancient.
I did the same in high school, that hike killed me lol I didnt get to enjoy much of the scenery while i was there until i actually got to machu pichu. 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'll be there next week! I'm so psyched to see and experience Machu Picchu! I heard about it in my 20s, so this trip has been a long time coming. Being there for a week will be awe-inspiring I'm sure!
You are wrong. How they can adept to powergun in less then 50 years? Inca Empire was big, strong, but they had enemys. When conquistadors came, hundreds of indians string along to them. 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?
But there was a major difference. The atrocities committed by the indigenous people was a result of their worldview. However, there is nothing in the christian worldview that justified what Europeans did.

Did they even have a written language? I remember reading somewhere that they had an only language called knot tying language aka quipo( if I spelled it right).
I wish that there was a written language because I feel that so much Incan history could be revealed had there been something left from this Empire. I love the Inca and the Mayans... and I want to learn as much as I can about both, but unfortunately due to the passage of time and because so little survives, there's holes in my learning.

I would be very interested to know what the native ppl have to say about the history of this amazingly built place. The legend doesn’t die I wouldn’t think
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. I'm sorry if my english grammar not perfect😅
Tee Touch👍👍 No disrespect but Machu Picchu is by far way breathtaking due to the place where is at. If you went up there you'd be mesmerized by its beauty and panoramic views from many sides. 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.
I'm from Peru, and in my city there is a museum with a Inca mummy, archeologists say she's a girl who was sacrificed, because there are hurts in her head. She was found on top of a mountain of 6000 masl. This is so weird in Inca society because they always made animal sacrifices.
I visit Machu Picchu this February and some parts of the city are no longer accesible due to the heavy traffic of tourists. You can even see the rocks sliding, the ground itself is moving. 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.
ancient people are patient and dedicated to what they want to achieve. see the works of middle eastern people, polynesians, asians, americans etc they build near-perfect structures that amazes us modern people.
It's really sad to hear the false information in this video stating that the Inca's built this beautiful place and that it is only 500 years old when in fact it is MUCH older and that the Inca's inherited the site. This was built by a lost civilization at least 12,000 years ago
Machu Picchu was a Ceremonial Place were Children were Sacrificed - Today the 28th of July Peru's Independence Day the Energy has Shifted Counterclock to Correct & Heal itself - All the Ancestral Linage from Its Origin to Now - A New Starting Point for Peru & the World - and so it is - Blessings.
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?!
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.
@@QuadRipper I have just been watching Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix presented by Graham Hancock...many examples showing that indeed many of the sites are probably much older than currently stated...
To zostało wybudowane przez Inków ? W 15-tym wieku ? Całe następne pokolenia będą głupie po takich teoriach dyletantów !!!!!Osady odseparowane wskazują na istoty o wyższej technologii ,wysokim rozwoju cywilizacyjnym .Pochodzenie tych ludzi to kontynent MU !!!!!!!!
Machu picchu is not Inca but chavín cupisnique.1600 BC. Same for Cuzco,ollantaytambo,sacsayhuamán,Pisac,etc. Incas was not a builder culture but a war culture.
it is not inca.Incas never builded anything.They goout Cuzco in 1438 DC.They were warriors and farmers coming from the great Chaco.Machu picchu was a human sacrifices place belonging to an oldest feudal civilization ended in 536 DC-650DC.
It wud be so nice if they could cut rocks that way again & put them in a fashion that earthquakes could be conquered. But how did people die if buildings were failsafe for earthquakes? Why the place became so desolated as if it was moon...like Buzz Aldrin said about moon ....desolation!
Hello Mr. Brien I wanted to let you know that in Mexico there is a Monolithic site called Malinalco which is a very interesting place that shares pre-diluvian culture with the pre-hispanic times, So I believe you should travel there to tell us what you see since you're an expert about megalithic sites and I love the way you explain how the ancient humanity left a perfect construction made out of a monolithic stone piece and the aztecs found it and re-used it to biuld their own buildings. This place called Malinalco is close to Mexico City, and is waiting for you to visit and make it famouse arround the world.
In minute 2.04 I dont like when the narrator says, in 15 century it was abandoned only after 100 years since it was built. How can we know that? Eberything about imperialisme and collonialisme of Europe to other continents always be closed off, or been kept secret. The truth is spain soldier have killed thousands of them and then buried then to other place or cave. It was foound a few years ago, where thousand of skeletons and bones fined in large cave few kilometers from the site. The spain stolen all treasure they have, golds, jewellery and others. They kill the Inca people all, no one left even the children to loose all witnesses. This video only hiding the brutalisme of Spain and Europe Imperialisme.
I didn't know it was that old ..Incas built it with rocks & cement ..good job but it was really a city with templos etc ? They did it with no instruction and it's well reserved , but after all in a third world country!! I would rather watch it on TV. Many problems to get stocked upthere !!!😮😮
I wish Spanish people never invaded America life would have been so much better. Imagine whole two continents that are just made of trees ,rivers ,lakes and simply nature. And their only habitants would have been intelligent native americans who would never harm nature as we did.
June 2024: just back from hiking the 4D/3N Inca Trail. All info pointed to June being the best time to go because even though it's cold, it should be dry. well... climate change? cant trust time tested weather patterns anymore. yes it was cold, but also raining a lot. i was ready anyway with the rain gear, but the hike down from dead woman's pass was slippery. and when we finally got to the sun gate.. not even an inch of machu picchu was visible. waited for hours, didn't clear. hiked down the stairs a bit, lucky the clouds parted just for a few minutes so i could get a picture. not at the iconic location, but hey still happy and grateful. overall, a very tough hike. so prepare by training for it. also prepare to sleep in a tent close to freezing temperatures on day 2. prepare for horrific toilets. prepare by taking high altitude meds. i think you also tend to get what you pay for.. in terms of the quality of the guide, quality of the food, location of the tent, the porters who help carry the stuff.

Modern day town planners could learn a lot from the ancient wisdom of the Incas when building in earthquake-prone areas!

Awesome place to visit! 😍😍
who here is from 7th period watching it right now
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?!
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.
probably preservation efforts because of tourists
@@QuadRipper I have just been watching Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix presented by Graham Hancock...many examples showing that indeed many of the sites are probably much older than currently stated...
@@zendisciple3737 Absolutely. Highly compelling.
To zostało wybudowane przez Inków ? W 15-tym wieku ? Całe następne pokolenia będą głupie po takich teoriach dyletantów !!!!!Osady odseparowane wskazują na istoty o wyższej technologii ,wysokim rozwoju cywilizacyjnym .Pochodzenie tych ludzi to kontynent MU !!!!!!!!

Sure Machu Picchu was abandoned. The Inca couldn't afford to live there anymore on account of their empire being so expansive
I love Machu Picchu
Machu picchu is not Inca but chavín cupisnique.1600 BC. Same for Cuzco,ollantaytambo,sacsayhuamán,Pisac,etc. Incas was not a builder culture but a war culture.
real heaven in the world 💓
Assalamu alaykum va rohmatulloh!
it is not inca.Incas never builded anything.They goout Cuzco in 1438 DC.They were warriors and farmers coming from the great Chaco.Machu picchu was a human sacrifices place belonging to an oldest feudal civilization ended in 536 DC-650DC.

It wud be so nice if they could cut rocks that way again & put them in a fashion that earthquakes could be conquered. But how did people die if buildings were failsafe for earthquakes? Why the place became so desolated as if it was moon...like Buzz Aldrin said about moon ....desolation!
me i am from class 7th period
Excellent video congratulations greetings from NJ USA
Hello Mr. Brien I wanted to let you know that in Mexico there is a Monolithic site called Malinalco which is a very interesting place that shares pre-diluvian culture with the pre-hispanic times, So I believe you should travel there to tell us what you see since you're an expert about megalithic sites and I love the way you explain how the ancient humanity left a perfect construction made out of a monolithic stone piece and the aztecs found it and re-used it to biuld their own buildings. This place called Malinalco is close to Mexico City, and is waiting for you to visit and make it famouse arround the world.
In minute 2.04 I dont like when the narrator says, in 15 century it was abandoned only after 100 years since it was built. How can we know that? Eberything about imperialisme and collonialisme of Europe to other continents always be closed off, or been kept secret. The truth is spain soldier have killed thousands of them and then buried then to other place or cave. It was foound a few years ago, where thousand of skeletons and bones fined in large cave few kilometers from the site. The spain stolen all treasure they have, golds, jewellery and others. They kill the Inca people all, no one left even the children to loose all witnesses. This video only hiding the brutalisme of Spain and Europe Imperialisme.
National Geographic has made 12,075.01$ off of this video so far.
I didn't know it was that old ..Incas built it with rocks & cement ..good job but it was really a city with templos etc ? They did it with no instruction and it's well reserved , but after all in a third world country!! I would rather watch it on TV. Many problems to get stocked upthere !!!😮😮
Incredible...better civilization remnants than Spanish civilization
I wish Spanish people never invaded America life would have been so much better. Imagine whole two continents that are just made of trees ,rivers ,lakes and simply nature. And their only habitants would have been intelligent native americans who would never harm nature as we did.
With these videos, I can practice my english, thanks, good information ; but Need know more about Machu Picchu :) Greetings from Lima.
hey it's a temple the Incas prayed for god Sun and Moon. Moon represent mother (machu/matha )Sun represent father (Pichu/Pithruu).
June 2024: just back from hiking the 4D/3N Inca Trail. All info pointed to June being the best time to go because even though it's cold, it should be dry. well... climate change? cant trust time tested weather patterns anymore. yes it was cold, but also raining a lot. i was ready anyway with the rain gear, but the hike down from dead woman's pass was slippery. and when we finally got to the sun gate.. not even an inch of machu picchu was visible. waited for hours, didn't clear. hiked down the stairs a bit, lucky the clouds parted just for a few minutes so i could get a picture. not at the iconic location, but hey still happy and grateful. overall, a very tough hike. so prepare by training for it. also prepare to sleep in a tent close to freezing temperatures on day 2. prepare for horrific toilets. prepare by taking high altitude meds. i think you also tend to get what you pay for.. in terms of the quality of the guide, quality of the food, location of the tent, the porters who help carry the stuff.
the engineer of pyramid of EGYPT and Inca wall are classmates.
