Blessings to all that beautiful family of steemit and community @steemchurch, today in #celestialchallenge the theme is "Wednesday-structures" proposal of @sirknight.
Machu Picchu, which in Spanish means "old mountain", is the most famous Inca city in the world. Located 110 kilometers northeast of Cusco, in the province of Urubamba (SOUTH AMERICA PERU), this architectural jewel is surrounded by temples, platforms and water channels.
Its construction was built with large blocks of stone joined together, without the use of amalgam. At the moment it is considered cultural patrimony of the humanity when being recognized like important political center, religious and administrative of the Incaic time.
Built in the fifteenth century, possibly at the request of the Inca Pachacuteq, Machu Picchu is divided into two major sectors:
- Agricultural that includes a vast network of terraces or artificial terraces.
- Urban, consisting of various buildings and squares including the Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Three Windows, the Main Temple and the Temple of the Condor.
NOTES:
Declared a Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, being considered as an important religious, political and administrative center of the Inca period.
Its temperature ranges between 6.2 ° and 29.5 °, since it is located in a subtropical zone. Its rainiest months are from November to March.
Its majestic architecture comprises some 140 structures throughout the citadel.
The average altitude of the citadel is 2 450 m s.n.m.
The mountains of Huayna Picchu and Machu Picchu are ideal for panoramic photographs of the entire architectural complex.
His discovery is due to the researcher Hiram Bingham III who was looking for the last capital of the Vilcabamba Incas.
Machu Picchu was declared "Historical Sanctuary of Peru" in 1981.
I am impressed with such intelligence that God has given man to create magnificent things without having known the current technology. Really a wonderful experience. The place is beautiful.
I invite the whole community to know this beautiful and impressive structure.
God bless all my reader friends.
