Machu Picchu is a huge ruin here.
I will give you details about their history, architecture system, etc.
So that way you can know whenever you have a chance to come here in the future.
Can you see myself standing on the middle of two sides?
On the left side, it is an urban (city, house, temple, etc).
On the right side,
it's rural (farm, organic plants, storages, etc).
I want to give you a warning that
If you climb on any ruins, you will be arrested right away.
You are not allowed to climb or stand on any ruins.
Justin was nearly arrested.
This place is called "Earth Mother,"
due to the past archaeologists were exploring the ruins here.
They discovered all dead mothers laying under the rock.
From there, they have decided to call it "Earth Mother."
You see this canal? It's the water system they used.
It's connected to many areas for farming, washing, drinking, goes on.
Take a look at this temple!
I am just in awe of the fact this rock used to be Priest's bed.
Can you imagine yourself sleeping on that rock?
I know how often you guys have mentioned how awful your bed is.
And Inca priests had that rock bed......
This is an office area.
Where is Incan's bed?
I can easily tell it is a bed due to the roof.
It reminds me of our homes.
Well, here's another room we are in.
It's a lot bigger than the previous room we were in.
Maybe this is Parents' room, while the other room is children's.
The Inca King's wife used this rock as a kitchen that she can prepare meals for his King.
Do you think the Inca ruins do not have system, design, supports, etc?
It's similar the way we do in the United States or other countries.
For example, we do have industrial that focuses on engineering, building things, etc.
Incan had that as well.
What did they build?
They have built some shapes of its rock, temples, etc.
They had their religious temples.
They had a quarry place where they market fruits, stuffs, etc.
You will see the temple of Conor behinds a big tree.
It's a religious area.
It's clear that there are similarities between past and present the way we set our system.
Can you see this top?
That is the main temple of the Machu Picchu! It's a king temple.
It's the old compass they used.
It displays the directions: north, south, east, and west.
It's the calendar Incan used for ensuring when is a good time to farm.
It tells you when is a good time to plant and to harvest its plants.
That's cool.
Guess how many people used to live here?
There were around 600 Incan people living in Machu Picchu.
I've no idea how this Machu Picchu was destroyed.
The best assumption I can make is, Spanish armies invaded here.
Gold, silver, and other resources were too valuable for them to not ignore.
That is the Machu Picchu! Beautiful, isn't it? Right?
