It was 24th July, 1911. Hiram Bingham, an American archaeologist, was in the Andes Mountains in Peru. Suddenly he saw a wall of stone in front of him. He couldn’t believe it! Was this the lost city of Machu Picchu?
1 Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca site in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It dates back to 1436. But what was it exactly and why did the Incas build it so high in the mountains? No one is really certain.
2 Bingham found amazing things in Machu Picchu. He discovered stone buildings with thick walls, homes for the people and a beautiful palace for the emperor. There was even a huge pyramid. The city also had a tall tower, temples, storage rooms, baths, about 150 houses and a park. It had running water and water fountains. All the buildings were very strong. Even earthquakes didn’t destroy them!
3 The Incas were clever people and they knew how to do many things. They weren’t only great builders and astronomers. They were also good farmers. They constructed terraced fields around the city and they grew potatoes, corn and cocoa. Machu Picchu was a great city. Hundreds of people lived there. Then, one day, they left, and no one really knows why.
Did you know? The name Machu Picchu means “old mountain”.
