Слайд 12Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the

Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.

Слайд 21The Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a

century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham.

Слайд 28Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to

give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like. By 1976, thirty percent of Machu Picchu had been restored. The restoration work continues to this day.

Слайд 31Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry

stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Inti Watana, the Temple of the Sun, and the 
Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu.

Слайд 32The abandoned citadel’s existence was a secret known only to peasants

living in the region. The site stretches over an impressive 5-mile distance, featuring more than 3,000 stone steps that link its many different levels. Today, hundreds of thousands of people tramp through Machu Picchu every year, braving crowds and landslides to see the sun set over its towering stone monuments and marvel at the mysterious splendor of one of the world’s most famous manmade wonders.

Слайд 37Archaeologists have identified several distinct sectors that together comprise the city,

including a farming zone,
a residential neighborhood,
a royal district
and a sacred area.

Machu Picchu’s most distinct and famous structures include the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, a sculpted granite rock that is believed to have functioned as a solar clock or calendar.
