- Interesting Fact #3Amazingly, Machu Picchu was constructed without the use of the wheel or large animals to carry the heavy stones. Hundreds of people used ropes and levers to move the large stones up the mountain and into place. Three sacred animals in the art and architecture are the condor, puma, and snake. These creatures represent heaven, earth, and the world of the dead.
- Interesting Fact #1Machu Picchu is located in the Andes Mountains in Peru. It was built around 1450 by the Incas for the Inca emperor Pachacuti. It was not well known to outsiders until a history professor named Hiram Bingham stumbled upon it in 1911. Some refer to it as the "lost city of the Incas" because the Spanish did not discover it when they conquered the Incas in the 1500s.
