Episode Notes
Historical Site/ Ancient Endeavors
“The construction of Machu Picchu appears to date from the mid-to-late 1400’s during the reigns of two famous Incan kings, Pachacutec Inca Yupanqui and Tupac Inca Yupanqui, but soon abandoned due to Spanish forces invasion in 1572. The exquisite stonework is the trademark of Machu Picchu, and in several renowned buildings one can see the apex of Inca stone construction that uses no mortar. Peru is a highly seismic land, and the trapezoidal shape of the walls and windows of Incan construction are highly resistant to earthquakes, allowing movement, and later settlement into original positions with little risk of collapse for those living inside.”
