documentary on the incas & machu picchu/machu pikchu (part2)

[ornitorrinco01]

It is not true that Machu Picchu was build as a refuge away from the Spanish. Machu Picchu was already constructed when the Spanish arrived, it was most likely a royal retreat and very important ceremonial centre. Also Hiram Bingham did not discover it by chance, the locals always knew it was there, a local guide actually led Hiram Bingham to the site but Hiram Bingham gets the credit for 'discovering' the site.

You are correct, Machu Picchu was built already, but some historians think the city served as a religious site as well as a 'last refuge'

"Peru and Yale University reached an agreement regarding return of artifacts removed from Macchu Picchu in the early 20th century by Hiram Bingham." 40,000-4000=36,000 artifacts still pending
