The first shared picture shows the Inca road to Machu Picchu, the most famous wondrous structure still attesting to one of the world's most intriguing civilizations.King Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui built the famed Inca citadel in the 15th century. Today, Machu Picchu is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is recognised as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
Now, you may justly think,"Give us something new!" Well then, we can never learn enough of what made the Incas so outstanding. These ancient folks have so many laurels to their hats!
For example, the creation of roads was the Incan speciality. Their roads stretched all the way from Chile to Columbia which was roughly a distance of 3,250 miles. This means that the Inca Empire was larger than the Roman Empire!
The Incas did not use wheels for transportation, they travelled on foot and via llamas.
Another impressive aspect of Incan engineering was the rope bridges . They were suspended over canyons and gorges and were made out of ichu grass. Additionally, these bridges were regularly repaired by the local villagers. One still standing example of their rope bridges is the Keshwa Chaca, near Huinchiri, Peru (the third shared picture illustrates it).
Oh, I just reckoned while sin-binging on some French fries, the Incans were the first people in the world to cultivate potatoes. Really? I am already transported to my dream destination!
