MACHU PICCHU (1460-1470), Peru (THE NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD) 7-7-07
In the 15th century, the Incan Emperor
Pachacútec built a city in the clouds on the mountain known as Machu Picchu
("old mountain"). This
extraordinary settlement lies
halfway up the Andes Plateau, deep in the Amazon jungle and above the Urubamba
River. It was probably
abandoned by the Incas because of a smallpox outbreak and, after
the Spanish defeated the Incan Empire, the city remained 'lost' for over
three centuries. It was rediscovered by Hiram
Bingham in 1911.
Machu Picchu is a New7Wonder of the World as it is a symbol of - Community
& Dedication
