Episode 41
This was the moment we had all been waiting for, the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru. Our adventure travel has us in on the of top spots in Peru. After an energetic 4am wake up we were on one of the first busses heading gates of this magical city.
Our amazing tour guide, Marco, takes us on a journey to discover secrets of the Incan culture and facts about this World Heritage Site. The history of Machu Picchu was astonishing to learn and sometimes it was almost unbelievable .
2:50 - Due to the location of Machu Picchu the Incan's were masters of agriculture and worshiped the sun for it's life-giving nourishment. The had very little space to grow plants so the designed terraces along the mountain side where different cops were grown on different levels because of temperature change from the bottom to the top.
4:18 - We learn about Hiram Bingham's discoveries and how he found a lot of llama bones and broken ceramics that were thought to be offerings to the sun. They believed the sun was going to leave them and that by making offerings it would return.
5:01 - The famous Machu Picchu sun stone or Intihuatana still has mystery surrounding it today as to it's main purpose. It was likely used as a way to measure the angle and position of the sun as this information would have been used to improve their agriculture abilities.
Seeing a ancient city in the clouds like this defines a breathtaking experience. This Wonder of the World is an engineering marvel that stands alone for building in an extremely elevated and remote location. What was once a small basecamp at a strategic crossing point in the middle of thousands of miles of Inca Trails through the Andes, grew into colony that was like no other before or after it's time.

During the early 14th century the Inca Kingdom and their neighboring Tribes and Kingdoms were at war with each other over power and resources...Later under Emperor Pachacuti he reorganized the kingdom of Cuzco into an empire. Pachacuti along with his Nobles and engineers converted his empire to a new governmental system called "Tahuantinsuyu" and brought free trade, new road systems, architecture and new agriculture practices fitted for mountainous terrain. In this system there was a federal government and four provincial government. Head of the federal system was Emperor "Inca". And head of the other provincial government was Inca nobles. Pachacuti is also known to be the creator of Machu Picchu.

From new findings at the world famous Nazca lines, to the mysterious Peruvian VAMPIRE, these are 10 UNBELIEVABLE Discoveries in Peru !
Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv
5. Vilcabamba, Peru
The site of Vilcabamba was founded by the Incas in 1539 and was the last refuge for the Incas until it eventually fell to the invading Spanish Conquistadors in 1572. For a long time, it was fabled as a lost city after it was destroyed. It’s quite the journey to get there so it isn’t exactly on the list of tourist attractions. The Spanish must have had a hard time trying to find it. Anyone with royal blood, men and women, made the journey in order to live in peace. In modern times, the city was eventually rediscovered again in 1892. More explorations here were made in the 1960’s, publishing books on the last and lost city of the Incas. The stone cut marks are made with the same extreme precision as the one in Machu Picchu and were made from Bronze chisels.
4. Wari Tomb
Archaeologists came across an unbelievable discovery in Peru when they found tomb that had been undisturbed for centuries! Within lies the remains of two bodies from the Wari people. One was an adult and the other was a child. Could it be, they were victims of human sacrifice like other civilizations in the Americas? Archaeologists believe yes and that the child was killed and placed next to an adult. The tomb is over 1000 years old and the bodies were wrapped in ceremonial fabric. 10 other artifacts were found and they believe that the adult was most likely a master weaver. They believe the child was killed and was buried as an offering to the adult, and not to the gods.
3. Temple of the Dead
Archaeologists came across an unlooted Wari necropolis in Peru that you see in this photo, full of silver and gold artifacts. The modern day tomb raiders found rare pieces of history dating back from 700-1000 AD, containing the remains of 3 Wari queens and the remains of 60 other people, some which were human sacrifices and som e were actually well preserved. This skeleton here with the cracked skull was believed to be what’s left of a sacrificed human. Archaeologists are scrambling to piece together the bones, like you see here.The Wari tomb is the first of its kind uncovered and it really makes us wonder what else this pre Inca civilization was capable of. You have to wonder why we don’t hear more about these people in the history books. Here in this photo we see some of the golden ear ornaments worn by possibly an ancient queen. This here is a ceramic flask of a Warlord with his eye open displaying his wide body. This goes to show that woman held much more power in this tribe than previously thought.
2. Peruvian Vampires
Archaeologists came across a grizzly ancient discovery and learned more about sacrificial methods of natives in this culture. Six bodies of women were sacrificed in a ritualistic tradition in a secret chamber of this temple. The ceremonies involved creepy costumes, beheading and drinking of their blood. The bodies were then faced towards the Andes mountains that were considered sacred. These were believed to be from the Lambayeque culture, also known as the Sican culture, found along the north coast of peru from 750 AD to 1375. Religious cities of this culture huge temples were constructed with secret sacrificial chambers. Some of the artifacts collected here included ceramic figures that you see in these photos. Other skeletons like this one were found, shielding its eyes, possibly from the horrific ceremony taking place.
1. The Nazca Holes
You may have heard of the Nazca Lines, but have you heard about the mysterious Nazca holes? Strange spiral holes were built in the Peruvian Nazca desert and were known as Puquios. They’re still baffling archaeologists to this day. The holes were constructed to spiral downwards in funnel shape, as you can see from this photo. This could have been constructed in to play a key role in finding water, deep below the surface of the earth. Others believe it was constructed for storage. The region was clearly inhabited by an important civilization but not too much is known about them. The Nazca holes most likely had the capability of changing the entire landscape into lush, flourishing landscape, perfect for agriculture. This sophisticated designed must have had a been crucial for one of the mysterious civilizations that inhabited in Peru.

One of the great mysteries of ancient Peru is that the Inca did not have a system of writing, but communicated with a system of strings tied with knots. For the first time, centuries-old knotted textile accounting records known as quipus were found buried with well-preserved organic material. They were found at the archaeological site of Incahuasi, the base of operations for the Inca expansion along Peru’s southern coast.

The Inca Empire stretched from Colombia to central Chile and ruled more than 12 million people. They built organized cities and advanced road systems, yet they had no system of hieroglyphic writing, as the Maya did. Instead, they communicated via a system of knotted textile strings known as quipus. Deciphering how to read the quipus has become one of the great mysteries of ancient Peru.
At the site of Incahuasi in the Cañete Valley, archaeologists have found—for the first time—dozens of quipus buried alongside centuries-old produce. They appear to have been used for accounting in agricultural storage houses to record the amount of wood, beans, corn, chili peppers, and other items moving throughout the complex. Six-hundred-year-old beans are so well-preserved in this dry valley that they look like dried beans you would see in a market today. Archaeologists found beans and other produce so they knew they were excavating storerooms, and then they found knots.
National Geographic explorer Alejandro Chu explains that this is significant for quipu scholars because new discoveries could help bring them closer to understanding what the accounting records mean. “Usually you find quipus related to offerings, or funerary bundles in tombs. They are left and totally disconnected from their real use,” Chu says. “One of the main reasons why the discovery of quipus in Incahuasi is amazing is because it’s one of the first times we're finding them in their original context. They are in the places where they were used.”
Quipus are made of a cotton or wool strings hanging from a main cord. The knots on the strings convey meaning through their location, direction, and type. Researchers already have a basic understanding of the numerical system incorporated in the quipus, where knots represent numbers. The hope is to move beyond mathematical operations to understanding non-numerical words or phrases from the agricultural product inventories. It is a whole new body of data to add to the Quipu Database Project and to understanding this interesting form of communication.
Incahuasi, or “House of the Inca,” is an important and strategic Inca city. It served as the agricultural base of operations and administrative center for the Inca expansion along southern coast in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It transformed the valley into a thriving, productive area. In two archaeological excavation seasons led by Chu, the team has already found almost 70 quipus, and most of the vast storeroom complex at the site is yet to be excavated.

Past the mighty Inca empire, various cultures developed their science , art and customs to astonishing degrees before being relegated to oblivion, swallowed by the passage of centuries and the splendor of the peoples who succeeded them. In the hands of most recent archaeological research will travel through time and history to show the mysteries of these brilliant civilizations.
So, will visit the ceremonial centers of Tiahuanaco culture developed in the sixth century AD in the region of the plateau, whose enigmatic sculptures and constructive forms baffle archaeologists and specialists. Today observatories shamans use their mystical rites who worship the sun by burning charms.
In the Peruvian coast, dominated by arid dunes and stifling atmosphere, find hundreds of canals built by the Chimu culture to sustain its irrigation. The Chimu civilization formed a complex witness whose heyday was the city of Chan-Chan. This settlement, built with clay soils in the eleventh century , was the most populated city in the world at the time, it reached 100,000.

Discover the highlights of Peru - HD - 2013
Produced by Richard Weinhofer
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes Mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 28.7 percent.[5] Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 29.5 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu (in hispanicized spelling, Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmatʃu ˈpiktʃu]) or Machu Pikchu (Quechua machu old, old person, pikchu peak; mountain or prominence with a broad base which ends in sharp peaks, "old peak", pronunciation [ˈmɑtʃu ˈpixtʃu]) is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District in Peru.
It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Sacred Valley which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most 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" (a title more accurately applied to Vilcabamba), it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization.
The Incas built the estate around 1450, but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish Conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of what the structures originally looked like. By 1976, 30% of Machu Picchu had been restored; restoration continues today.

Inca Empire
The Inca Empire (Quechua: Tawantinsuyu, lit. "The Four Regions"), also known as the Incan Empire, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. The administrative, political, and military center of the empire was located in Cusco in modern-day Peru. The Inca civilization arose from the highlands of Peru sometime in the early 13th century, and the last Inca stronghold was conquered by the Spanish in 1572.
From 1438 to 1533, the Incas used a variety of methods, from conquest to peaceful assimilation, to incorporate a large portion of western South America, centered on the Andean mountain ranges, including, besides Peru, large parts of modern Ecuador, western and south central Bolivia, northwest Argentina, north and central Chile, and a small part of southern Colombia into a state comparable to the historical empires of Eurasia. The official language of the empire was Quechua, although hundreds of local languages and dialects of Quechua were spoken. Many local forms of worship persisted in the empire, most of them concerning local sacred Huacas, but the Inca leadership encouraged the worship of Inti—their sun god—and imposed its sovereignty above other cults such as that of Pachamama. The Incas considered their king, the Sapa Inca, to be the "son of the sun."

Peru (
i/pəˈruː/; Spanish: Perú [peˈɾu]; Quechua: Piruw [pɪɾʊw];Aymara: Piruw [pɪɾʊw]), officially the Republic of Peru (Spanish: 
República del Perú ), is a country in western South America. It is bordered in the north by Ecuador and Colombia, in the east by Brazil, in the southeast by Bolivia, in the south by Chile, and in the west by the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an extremely biodiverse country with habitats ranging from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region in the west to the peaks of the Andes mountains vertically extending from the north to the southeast of the country to the tropical Amazon Basin rainforest in the east with the Amazon river.
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization in Caral, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty with its capital in Lima, which included most of its South American colonies. Ideas of political autonomy later spread throughout Spanish America and Peru gained its independence, which was formally proclaimed in 1821. After the battle of Ayacucho, three years after proclamation, Peru ensured its independence. After achieving independence, the country remained in recession and kept a low military profile until an economic rise based on the extraction of raw and maritime materials struck the country, which ended shortly before the war of the Pacific. Subsequently, the country has undergone changes in government from oligarchic to democratic systems. Peru has gone through periods of political unrest and internal conflict as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.

From new findings at the world famous Nazca lines, to the mysterious Peruvian VAMPIRE, these are 10 UNBELIEVABLE Discoveries in Peru ! Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 5. Vilcabamba, Peru The site of Vilcabamba was founded by the Incas in 1539 and was the last refuge for the Incas until it eventually fell to the invading Spanish Conquistadors in 1572. For a long time, it was fabled as a lost city after it was destroyed. It’s quite the journey to get there so it isn’t exactly on the list of tourist attractions. The Spanish must have had a hard time trying to find it. Anyone with royal blood, men and women, made the journey in order to live in peace. In modern times, the city was eventually rediscovered again in 1892. More explorations here were made in the 1960’s, publishing books on the last and lost city of the Incas. The stone cut marks are made with the same extreme precision as the one in Machu Picchu and were made from Bronze chisels. 4. Wari Tomb Archaeologists came across an unbelievable discovery in Peru when they found tomb that had been undisturbed for centuries! Within lies the remains of two bodies from the Wari people. One was an adult and the other was a child. Could it be, they were victims of human sacrifice like other civilizations in the Americas? Archaeologists believe yes and that the child was killed and placed next to an adult. The tomb is over 1000 years old and the bodies were wrapped in ceremonial fabric. 10 other artifacts were found and they believe that the adult was most likely a master weaver. They believe the child was killed and was buried as an offering to the adult, and not to the gods. 3. Temple of the Dead Archaeologists came across an unlooted Wari necropolis in Peru that you see in this photo, full of silver and gold artifacts. The modern day tomb raiders found rare pieces of history dating back from 700-1000 AD, containing the remains of 3 Wari queens and the remains of 60 other people, some which were human sacrifices and som e were actually well preserved. This skeleton here with the cracked skull was believed to be what’s left of a sacrificed human. Archaeologists are scrambling to piece together the bones, like you see here.The Wari tomb is the first of its kind uncovered and it really makes us wonder what else this pre Inca civilization was capable of. You have to wonder why we don’t hear more about these people in the history books. Here in this photo we see some of the golden ear ornaments worn by possibly an ancient queen. This here is a ceramic flask of a Warlord with his eye open displaying his wide body. This goes to show that woman held much more power in this tribe than previously thought. 2. Peruvian Vampires Archaeologists came across a grizzly ancient discovery and learned more about sacrificial methods of natives in this culture. Six bodies of women were sacrificed in a ritualistic tradition in a secret chamber of this temple. The ceremonies involved creepy costumes, beheading and drinking of their blood. The bodies were then faced towards the Andes mountains that were considered sacred. These were believed to be from the Lambayeque culture, also known as the Sican culture, found along the north coast of peru from 750 AD to 1375. Religious cities of this culture huge temples were constructed with secret sacrificial chambers. Some of the artifacts collected here included ceramic figures that you see in these photos. Other skeletons like this one were found, shielding its eyes, possibly from the horrific ceremony taking place. 1. The Nazca Holes You may have heard of the Nazca Lines, but have you heard about the mysterious Nazca holes? Strange spiral holes were built in the Peruvian Nazca desert and were known as Puquios. They’re still baffling archaeologists to this day. The holes were constructed to spiral downwards in funnel shape, as you can see from this photo. This could have been constructed in to play a key role in finding water, deep below the surface of the earth. Others believe it was constructed for storage. The region was clearly inhabited by an important civilization but not too much is known about them. The Nazca holes most likely had the capability of changing the entire landscape into lush, flourishing landscape, perfect for agriculture. This sophisticated designed must have had a been crucial for one of the mysterious civilizations that inhabited in Peru. -

One of the great mysteries of ancient Peru is that the Inca did not have a system of writing, but communicated with a system of strings tied with knots. For the first time, centuries-old knotted textile accounting records known as quipus were found buried with well-preserved organic material. They were found at the archaeological site of Incahuasi, the base of operations for the Inca expansion along Peru’s southern coast. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.

They built organized cities and advanced road systems, yet they had no system of hieroglyphic writing, as the Maya did. Instead, they communicated via a system of knotted textile strings known as quipus. Deciphering how to read the quipus has become one of the great mysteries of ancient Peru. At the site of Incahuasi in the Cañete Valley, archaeologists have found—for the first time—dozens of quipus buried alongside centuries-old produce. They appear to have been used for accounting in agricultural storage houses to record the amount of wood, beans, corn, chili peppers, and other items moving throughout the complex. Six-hundred-year-old beans are so well-preserved in this dry valley that they look like dried beans you would see in a market today. Archaeologists found beans and other produce so they knew they were excavating storerooms, and then they found knots. National Geographic explorer Alejandro Chu explains that this is significant for quipu scholars because new discoveries could help bring them closer to understanding what the accounting records mean. “Usually you find quipus related to offerings, or funerary bundles in tombs. They are left and totally disconnected from their real use,” Chu says. “One of the main reasons why the discovery of quipus in Incahuasi is amazing is because it’s one of the first times we're finding them in their original context. They are in the places where they were used.” Quipus are made of a cotton or wool strings hanging from a main cord. The knots on the strings convey meaning through their location, direction, and type. Researchers already have a basic understanding of the numerical system incorporated in the quipus, where knots represent numbers. The hope is to move beyond mathematical operations to understanding non-numerical words or phrases from the agricultural product inventories. It is a whole new body of data to add to the Quipu Database Project and to understanding this interesting form of communication. Incahuasi, or “House of the Inca,” is an important and strategic Inca city. It served as the agricultural base of operations and administrative center for the Inca expansion along southern coast in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It transformed the valley into a thriving, productive area. In two archaeological excavation seasons led by Chu, the team has already found almost 70 quipus, and most of the vast storeroom complex at the site is yet to be excavated.

Discover the highlights of Peru - HD - 2013 Produced by Richard Weinhofer Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing. Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes Mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 28.7 percent.[5] Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles. The Peruvian population, estimated at 29.5 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru -

A look at the Ancient Civilizations of the Inca and Maya Empires. Discover the gems of the 15th Century Incan empire, a domain which covered much of South America. The splendid cities of Curzo and Chairana and the grandeur of Machu Picchu captivated the imagination and, unfortunately, greed of the Spanish conquistadors. Lifelike virtual construction gives us a close look at the massive sacred grounds of the Temple of the Sun at Cuzco, religious and political capital of a world known to generations of European adventurers as El Dorado.

During the early 14th century the Inca Kingdom and their neighboring Tribes and Kingdoms were at war with each other over power and resources...Later under Emperor Pachacuti he reorganized the kingdom of Cuzco into an empire. Pachacuti along with his Nobles and engineers converted his empire to a new governmental system called "Tahuantinsuyu" and brought free trade, new road systems, architecture and new agriculture practices fitted for mountainous terrain. In this system there was a federal government and four provincial government. Head of the federal system was Emperor "Inca". And head of the other provincial government was Inca nobles. Pachacuti is also known to be the creator of Machu Picchu.

5. Vilcabamba, Peru
The site of Vilcabamba was founded by the Incas in 1539 and was the last refuge for the Incas until it eventually fell to the invading Spanish Conquistadors in 1572. For a long time, it was fabled as a lost city after it was destroyed. It’s quite the journey to get there so it isn’t exactly on the list of tourist attractions. The Spanish must have had a hard time trying to find it. Anyone with royal blood, men and women, made the journey in order to live in peace. In modern times, the city was eventually rediscovered again in 1892. More explorations here were made in the 1960’s, publishing books on the last and lost city of the Incas. The stone cut marks are made with the same extreme precision as the one in Machu Picchu and were made from Bronze chisels.
4. Wari Tomb
Archaeologists came across an unbelievable discovery in Peru when they found tomb that had been undisturbed for centuries! Within lies the remains of two bodies from the Wari people. One was an adult and the other was a child. Could it be, they were victims of human sacrifice like other civilizations in the Americas? Archaeologists believe yes and that the child was killed and placed next to an adult. The tomb is over 1000 years old and the bodies were wrapped in ceremonial fabric. 10 other artifacts were found and they believe that the adult was most likely a master weaver. They believe the child was killed and was buried as an offering to the adult, and not to the gods.
3. Temple of the Dead
Archaeologists came across an unlooted Wari necropolis in Peru that you see in this photo, full of silver and gold artifacts. The modern day tomb raiders found rare pieces of history dating back from 700-1000 AD, containing the remains of 3 Wari queens and the remains of 60 other people, some which were human sacrifices and som e were actually well preserved. This skeleton here with the cracked skull was believed to be what’s left of a sacrificed human. Archaeologists are scrambling to piece together the bones, like you see here.The Wari tomb is the first of its kind uncovered and it really makes us wonder what else this pre Inca civilization was capable of. You have to wonder why we don’t hear more about these people in the history books. Here in this photo we see some of the golden ear ornaments worn by possibly an ancient queen. This here is a ceramic flask of a Warlord with his eye open displaying his wide body. This goes to show that woman held much more power in this tribe than previously thought.
2. Peruvian Vampires
Archaeologists came across a grizzly ancient discovery and learned more about sacrificial methods of natives in this culture. Six bodies of women were sacrificed in a ritualistic tradition in a secret chamber of this temple. The ceremonies involved creepy costumes, beheading and drinking of their blood. The bodies were then faced towards the Andes mountains that were considered sacred. These were believed to be from the Lambayeque culture, also known as the Sican culture, found along the north coast of peru from 750 AD to 1375. Religious cities of this culture huge temples were constructed with secret sacrificial chambers. Some of the artifacts collected here included ceramic figures that you see in these photos. Other skeletons like this one were found, shielding its eyes, possibly from the horrific ceremony taking place.
1. The Nazca Holes
You may have heard of the Nazca Lines, but have you heard about the mysterious Nazca holes? Strange spiral holes were built in the Peruvian Nazca desert and were known as Puquios. They’re still baffling archaeologists to this day. The holes were constructed to spiral downwards in funnel shape, as you can see from this photo. This could have been constructed in to play a key role in finding water, deep below the surface of the earth. Others believe it was constructed for storage. The region was clearly inhabited by an important civilization but not too much is known about them. The Nazca holes most likely had the capability of changing the entire landscape into lush, flourishing landscape, perfect for agriculture. This sophisticated designed must have had a been crucial for one of the mysterious civilizations that inhabited in Peru.

One of the great mysteries of ancient Peru is that the Inca did not have a system of writing, but communicated with a system of strings tied with knots. For the first time, centuries-old knotted textile accounting records known as quipus were found buried with well-preserved organic material. They were found at the archaeological site of Incahuasi, the base of operations for the Inca expansion along Peru’s southern coast.

The Inca Empire stretched from Colombia to central Chile and ruled more than 12 million people. They built organized cities and advanced road systems, yet they had no system of hieroglyphic writing, as the Maya did. Instead, they communicated via a system of knotted textile strings known as quipus. Deciphering how to read the quipus has become one of the great mysteries of ancient Peru.
At the site of Incahuasi in the Cañete Valley, archaeologists have found—for the first time—dozens of quipus buried alongside centuries-old produce. They appear to have been used for accounting in agricultural storage houses to record the amount of wood, beans, corn, chili peppers, and other items moving throughout the complex. Six-hundred-year-old beans are so well-preserved in this dry valley that they look like dried beans you would see in a market today. Archaeologists found beans and other produce so they knew they were excavating storerooms, and then they found knots.
National Geographic explorer Alejandro Chu explains that this is significant for quipu scholars because new discoveries could help bring them closer to understanding what the accounting records mean. “Usually you find quipus related to offerings, or funerary bundles in tombs. They are left and totally disconnected from their real use,” Chu says. “One of the main reasons why the discovery of quipus in Incahuasi is amazing is because it’s one of the first times we're finding them in their original context. They are in the places where they were used.”
Quipus are made of a cotton or wool strings hanging from a main cord. The knots on the strings convey meaning through their location, direction, and type. Researchers already have a basic understanding of the numerical system incorporated in the quipus, where knots represent numbers. The hope is to move beyond mathematical operations to understanding non-numerical words or phrases from the agricultural product inventories. It is a whole new body of data to add to the Quipu Database Project and to understanding this interesting form of communication.
Incahuasi, or “House of the Inca,” is an important and strategic Inca city. It served as the agricultural base of operations and administrative center for the Inca expansion along southern coast in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It transformed the valley into a thriving, productive area. In two archaeological excavation seasons led by Chu, the team has already found almost 70 quipus, and most of the vast storeroom complex at the site is yet to be excavated.

The Chimu civilization formed a complex witness whose heyday was the city of Chan-Chan. This settlement, built with clay soils in the eleventh century , was the most populated city in the world at the time, it reached 100,000.

By delving into the remnants of the Moche find evidence of human sacrifice, polychrome reliefs on its walls hiding humans know its complex sandwiches and mummification techniques.
The Temples or archaeological sites in the thousands, but, unfortunately, are plundered by looters, who accompany, covered at night, in one of his clandestine excavations. The fruits of their plunder is sold pre-Columbian art dealers and shamans, who use fetishes in religious ceremonies in which usual intake mescaline in a preparation which they call "San Pedro ".
When we flew over the Pampa del Ingenio are revealed and lines drawings that remain carved in the floor. They are a little overwhelming and mark sundown constituting the world's largest astronomical book.
Finally, we can not miss the most important site of America in recent times: the tomb of the Lord of Sipan, which Walter Alba, archaeologist who directed the excavation, will talk extensively.

Discover the highlights of Peru - HD - 2013
Produced by Richard Weinhofer
Peruvian territory was home to ancient cultures spanning from the Norte Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes Mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 28.7 percent.[5] Its main economic activities include agriculture, fishing, mining, and manufacturing of products such as textiles.
The Peruvian population, estimated at 29.5 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Europeans, Africans, and Asians. The main spoken language is Spanish, although a significant number of Peruvians speak Quechua or other native languages. This mixture of cultural traditions has resulted in a wide diversity of expressions in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.

Machu Picchu, sometimes called the Lost City of the Inca, was hidden from history for hundreds of years until its rediscovery in 1911. Built onto a mountainside with impressive and sophisticated engineering, it gives archaeologists a look into the everyday life of the Inca people. Today, it stands as the best surviving example of Inca architecture, and has been designated a World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.

Cusco & Machu Picchu Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
In Cusco, and the Sacred Valley, magnificent ruins await the adventurous traveler. The most famous of all is Machu Picchu. Cusco is the former capital of the Inca Empire of the Sun. Since the 16th century, Spanish colonial buildings were built atop former Inca Palaces, of which only the foundations remain. Examples in the central Plaza de Armas are the Cusco Cathedral and La Compañia church. Another striking example is Qorikancha, the former golden courtyard of the Temple of the Sun. The Spanish used stones from Sacsayhuaman, an Inca stronghold overlooking the city. In the Urubamba Valley, or Sacred Valley, visitors can see the mysterious Moray Terraces and the pre-Inca Salt Mines of Maras. Ollantaytambo is a living Inca city and its towering ruins form the start of the Inca Trail to Ma...

Machu Picchu Travel Guide Documentary
There are wonders of the world and then there are places on planet earth that seem like they deserve an upper echelon category. Machu Picchu is certainly one of those places. The lost city of the Incas, also known as the Old Mountain (Machu Pikchu), is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 meters above sea level. Visiting Machu Picchu again for a second time was a reconfirmation of its ability to impress all over again. We toured the site, this time around with a guide, on the first day with rainy conditions in the morning and overcast by the afternoon. On the second day, it was just gorgeous and sunny outside from the moment we arrived. My biggest tip for anyone visiting Machu Picchu is to budget several days to visit the site because of its sheer size and how unpredictable the weather c...

Machu Picchu Vacation Travel Video Guide

Located high in the Peruvian Andes, the Lost City Of the Inca’s, Machu Picchu, is reminiscent of an imaginary castle surrounded by steep ravines and mountains.Sacrificial sun altars and ritualistic monuments testify to the sun cult of its original inhabitants who used human sacrifices to appease the gods. The massive quantity of building materials used, along with the most amazing building techniques, contribute to the association of Machu Picchu with extraterrestrial influences.

In Cusco, and the Sacred Valley, magnificent ruins await the adventurous traveler. The most famous of all is Machu Picchu.

In the Urubamba Valley, or Sacred Valley, visitors can see the mysterious Moray Terraces and the pre-Inca Salt Mines of Maras. Ollantaytambo is a living Inca city and its towering ruins form the start of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
The long-lost Inca bastion was uncovered from the jungle in 1911. It remains a mystery how the Incas managed to stack the heavy granite blocks that make up the city’s buildings so precisely, at high altitude.
Little is also known about how the Incas turned a multi-lingual tribal region in an empire that is now known as one of the greatest civilizations in history.

Machu Picchu Travel Video Transcript:
So do you think people will be able to guess where we are based on the landscape? I'm not too sure. It's quite foggy right now. Where could we be? What could be off in the distance? Good question. Should we tell? Yes. It is Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. That is Machu Picchu guys. Breathtaking is it not?
This is a baby llama having breakfast. Breakfast time.
Can you give us an update on the current situation? So the current situation is that it has stopped raining. Yes. And it is starting to clear a bit. We're hopeful. Right now it is eight thirty six, and we're hopeful that maybe around ten or eleven, if it doesn't rain again, that we'll have some sunshine. Clear visibility of Machu Picchu. Get those iconic views. Yeah.
We know that the Quechua people were able to mummify people. But they used to mummify some important people from their culture. So they used to mummify to the royal family, they used to mummify to some people who were part of the high class people. So then they'd take the bodies. The mummies into the cave and they'd put them you know in the fetal position because they used to believe that they could enter into a different life after this life.
Rocking the new hats. The chuyos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So the soldiers possibly used this to place the torch. The fire. Okay. But also they could maybe place here a pet which was maybe a llama or this was maybe an alpaca that they would use to sacrifice in one of the temples.
So here we're checking out an Inca toilet. Is it an en-suite? I'd say so.
What are we doing Audrey? Getting our Machu Picchu stamp. So this one is yours. Ready. Ta da.
Welcome to my home. This is the living area. It still needs to be furnished. And this over here is going to be a little reading nook and I'm put my books there, there and there.
Alright, so we found a nice quiet spot here and I want to know your impressions of coming back to Machu Picchu for a second time?
Okay, so Sam, you visited Machu Picchu about six years ago, how has does this trip compare to that one?
This is like night and day. Six years ago I was the ultimate cheapskate backpacker. I came to Machu Picchu using the cheapest transportation route possible. Basically I took this van on this really twisty serpentine off-road area and then I went across on this cable car using this wooden trolley. It was really dangerous.
Okay, so now next question. I know people always see Machu Picchu in documentaries, postcards, magazines. Do you think it is important for people to see it in person? Yeah, absolutely. It's actually one of these wonders of the world that actually lives up to its reputation. And what I really think, what I really get out of coming to Machu Picchu is just a sense of the sheer scale of the place. Like it is massive. When you come here and walk around you get a really good sense of just how big this lost city of the Inca's is. Woo hoo! Go Machu Picchu!
This is part of our Travel in Peru series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Peruvian culture, Peruvian arts, Peruvian foods, Peruvian religion, Peruvian cuisine and Peruvian people. All things Peruano. The best of Comida Peruana and Cocina Peruana.

Located high in the Peruvian Andes, the Lost City Of the Inca’s, Machu Picchu, is reminiscent of an imaginary castle surrounded by steep ravines and mountains.Sacrificial sun altars and ritualistic monuments testify to the sun cult of its original inhabitants who used human sacrifices to appease the gods. The massive quantity of building materials used, along with the most amazing building techniques, contribute to the association of Machu Picchu with extraterrestrial influences.

10 Unbelievable Discoveries in Peru
From new findings at the world famous Nazca lines, to the mysterious Peruvian VAMPIRE, these are 10 UNBELIEVABLE Discoveries in Peru ! Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 5. Vilcabamba, Peru The site of Vilcabamba was founded by the Incas in 1539 and was the last refuge for the Incas until it eventually fell to the invading Spanish Conquistadors in 1572. For a long time, it was fabled as a lost city after it was destroyed. It’s quite the journey to get there so it isn’t exactly on the list of tourist attractions. The Spanish must have had a hard time trying to find it. Anyone with royal blood, men and women, made the journey in order to live in peace. In modern times, the city was eventually rediscovered again in 1892. More explorations here were made in the 1960’s, publishing...

Threads That Speak: How The Inca Used Strings to Communicate | National Geographic
One of the great mysteries of ancient Peru is that the Inca did not have a system of writing, but communicated with a system of strings tied with knots. For the first time, centuries-old knotted textile accounting records known as quipus were found buried with well-preserved organic material. They were found at the archaeological site of Incahuasi, the base of operations for the Inca expansion along Peru’s southern coast. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure.

This was the moment we had all been waiting for, the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, Peru. Our adventure travel has us in on the of top spots in Peru. After an energetic 4am wake up we were on one of the first busses heading gates of this magical city.
Our amazing tour guide, Marco, takes us on a journey to discover secrets of the Incan culture and facts about this World Heritage Site. The history of Machu Picchu was astonishing to learn and sometimes it was almost unbelievable .
2:50 - Due to the location of Machu Picchu the Incan's were masters of agriculture and worshiped the sun for it's life-giving nourishment. The had very little space to grow plants so the designed terraces along the mountain side where different cops were grown on different levels because of temperature change from the bottom to the top.
4:18 - We learn about Hiram Bingham's discoveries and how he found a lot of llama bones and broken ceramics that were thought to be offerings to the sun. They believed the sun was going to leave them and that by making offerings it would return.
5:01 - The famous Machu Picchu sun stone or Intihuatana still has mystery surrounding it today as to it's main purpose. It was likely used as a way to measure the angle and position of the sun as this information would have been used to improve their agriculture abilities.
Seeing a ancient city in the clouds like this defines a breathtaking experience. This Wonder of the World is an engineering marvel that stands alone for building in an extremely elevated and remote location. What was once a small basecamp at a strategic crossing point in the middle of thousands of miles of Inca Trails through the Andes, grew into colony that was like no other before or after it's time.

5. Vilcabamba, Peru
The site of Vilcabamba was founded by the Incas in 1539 and was the last refuge for the Incas until it eventually fell to the invading Spanish Conquistadors in 1572. For a long time, it was fabled as a lost city after it was destroyed. It’s quite the journey to get there so it isn’t exactly on the list of tourist attractions. The Spanish must have had a hard time trying to find it. Anyone with royal blood, men and women, made the journey in order to live in peace. In modern times, the city was eventually rediscovered again in 1892. More explorations here were made in the 1960’s, publishing books on the last and lost city of the Incas. The stone cut marks are made with the same extreme precision as the one in Machu Picchu and were made from Bronze chisels.
4. Wari Tomb
Archaeologists came across an unbelievable discovery in Peru when they found tomb that had been undisturbed for centuries! Within lies the remains of two bodies from the Wari people. One was an adult and the other was a child. Could it be, they were victims of human sacrifice like other civilizations in the Americas? Archaeologists believe yes and that the child was killed and placed next to an adult. The tomb is over 1000 years old and the bodies were wrapped in ceremonial fabric. 10 other artifacts were found and they believe that the adult was most likely a master weaver. They believe the child was killed and was buried as an offering to the adult, and not to the gods.
3. Temple of the Dead
Archaeologists came across an unlooted Wari necropolis in Peru that you see in this photo, full of silver and gold artifacts. The modern day tomb raiders found rare pieces of history dating back from 700-1000 AD, containing the remains of 3 Wari queens and the remains of 60 other people, some which were human sacrifices and som e were actually well preserved. This skeleton here with the cracked skull was believed to be what’s left of a sacrificed human. Archaeologists are scrambling to piece together the bones, like you see here.The Wari tomb is the first of its kind uncovered and it really makes us wonder what else this pre Inca civilization was capable of. You have to wonder why we don’t hear more about these people in the history books. Here in this photo we see some of the golden ear ornaments worn by possibly an ancient queen. This here is a ceramic flask of a Warlord with his eye open displaying his wide body. This goes to show that woman held much more power in this tribe than previously thought.
2. Peruvian Vampires
Archaeologists came across a grizzly ancient discovery and learned more about sacrificial methods of natives in this culture. Six bodies of women were sacrificed in a ritualistic tradition in a secret chamber of this temple. The ceremonies involved creepy costumes, beheading and drinking of their blood. The bodies were then faced towards the Andes mountains that were considered sacred. These were believed to be from the Lambayeque culture, also known as the Sican culture, found along the north coast of peru from 750 AD to 1375. Religious cities of this culture huge temples were constructed with secret sacrificial chambers. Some of the artifacts collected here included ceramic figures that you see in these photos. Other skeletons like this one were found, shielding its eyes, possibly from the horrific ceremony taking place.
1. The Nazca Holes
You may have heard of the Nazca Lines, but have you heard about the mysterious Nazca holes? Strange spiral holes were built in the Peruvian Nazca desert and were known as Puquios. They’re still baffling archaeologists to this day. The holes were constructed to spiral downwards in funnel shape, as you can see from this photo. This could have been constructed in to play a key role in finding water, deep below the surface of the earth. Others believe it was constructed for storage. The region was clearly inhabited by an important civilization but not too much is known about them. The Nazca holes most likely had the capability of changing the entire landscape into lush, flourishing landscape, perfect for agriculture. This sophisticated designed must have had a been crucial for one of the mysterious civilizations that inhabited in Peru.

One of the great mysteries of ancient Peru is that the Inca did not have a system of writing, but communicated with a system of strings tied with knots. For the first time, centuries-old knotted textile accounting records known as quipus were found buried with well-preserved organic material. They were found at the archaeological site of Incahuasi, the base of operations for the Inca expansion along Peru’s southern coast.

The Inca Empire stretched from Colombia to central Chile and ruled more than 12 million people. They built organized cities and advanced road systems, yet they had no system of hieroglyphic writing, as the Maya did. Instead, they communicated via a system of knotted textile strings known as quipus. Deciphering how to read the quipus has become one of the great mysteries of ancient Peru.
At the site of Incahuasi in the Cañete Valley, archaeologists have found—for the first time—dozens of quipus buried alongside centuries-old produce. They appear to have been used for accounting in agricultural storage houses to record the amount of wood, beans, corn, chili peppers, and other items moving throughout the complex. Six-hundred-year-old beans are so well-preserved in this dry valley that they look like dried beans you would see in a market today. Archaeologists found beans and other produce so they knew they were excavating storerooms, and then they found knots.
National Geographic explorer Alejandro Chu explains that this is significant for quipu scholars because new discoveries could help bring them closer to understanding what the accounting records mean. “Usually you find quipus related to offerings, or funerary bundles in tombs. They are left and totally disconnected from their real use,” Chu says. “One of the main reasons why the discovery of quipus in Incahuasi is amazing is because it’s one of the first times we're finding them in their original context. They are in the places where they were used.”
Quipus are made of a cotton or wool strings hanging from a main cord. The knots on the strings convey meaning through their location, direction, and type. Researchers already have a basic understanding of the numerical system incorporated in the quipus, where knots represent numbers. The hope is to move beyond mathematical operations to understanding non-numerical words or phrases from the agricultural product inventories. It is a whole new body of data to add to the Quipu Database Project and to understanding this interesting form of communication.
Incahuasi, or “House of the Inca,” is an important and strategic Inca city. It served as the agricultural base of operations and administrative center for the Inca expansion along southern coast in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It transformed the valley into a thriving, productive area. In two archaeological excavation seasons led by Chu, the team has already found almost 70 quipus, and most of the vast storeroom complex at the site is yet to be excavated.

A look at the Ancient Civilizations of the Inca and Maya Empires. Discover the gems of the 15th Century Incan empire, a domain which covered much of South America. The splendid cities of Curzo and Chairana and the grandeur of Machu Picchu captivated the imagination and, unfortunately, greed of the Spanish conquistadors. Lifelike virtual construction gives us a close look at the massive sacred grounds of the Temple of the Sun at Cuzco, religious and political capital of a world known to generations of European adventurers as El Dorado.
Part starts at 26:33 and looks at the Mayan Empire. Between the 3rd and 10th centuries A.D., the Mayan civilization ruled much of Central America. Travel back to the magnificent Mayan cities of Uxmal, Tulum, Chichén Itza and the capital Palenque, with its breathtaking pyramid built by master mathematicians. Being that it is located on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, it is, to this day, one of the most picturesque places in the world.
Ancient Civilizations offers a comparative analysis of the field, including both old world and new civilizations, and explores the connections between all civilizations around the earth.The volume provides a jargon-free introduction to ancient civilizations from the first civilizations, and the great powers in the Near East, to the first Aegean civilizations, the Mediterranean world in the first millennium, Imperial Rome, northeast Africa, divine kings in southeast Asia, and empires in East Asia, as well as early states in the Americas and Andean civilization.For those interested in ancient civilizations.
Today’s civilizations owe an immense debt to the powerful empires and mighty cities of antiquity. Their inventions, techniques and concepts enabled the advancement of humankind and lay the foundation for life in the modern world.
Explore Ancient History, including videos, pictures, and articles on cultures such as Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and more.

During the early 14th century the Inca Kingdom and their neighboring Tribes and Kingdoms were at war with each other over power and resources...Later under Emperor Pachacuti he reorganized the kingdom of Cuzco into an empire. Pachacuti along with his Nobles and engineers converted his empire to a new governmental system called "Tahuantinsuyu" and brought free trade, new road systems, architecture and new agriculture practices fitted for mountainous terrain. In this system there was a federal government and four provincial government. Head of the federal system was Emperor "Inca". And head of the other provincial government was Inca nobles. Pachacuti is also known to be the creator of Machu Picchu.

Myths, secrets and mystery surround the archaeological sites of the Maya and Inca in both Middle and South America. The city of Teotihuacán is no exception. The founding of this ancient and historically important city probably dates back to the second or third century A.D. when construction of the mighty Sun Pyramid crowned by a temple, was completed. The rain god, Tlaloc, and the Feathered Snake, Quetzalcoatl, were the major deities in the flourishing ancient city in some parts of which the magnificent decoration of various sanctuaries, including beautiful reliefs has been preserved to the present day.In Chichén Itzá the association between the beautifully decorated ancient monuments and temples and their function as a place of human sacrifice is more than evident. Heavy stone tables and human-shaped sacrificial altars such as the Chac Mool create a rather disturbing and mysterious ambience and even today little is known of the true nature of the horrifying rituals that once took place there. Despite its rather modest size the magnificent location of Tulum, located in the northern part of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean coast, is still one of the most popular and well-known Maya sites in the world. Tulum was once entirely surrounded by a massive defensive wall with towers and battlements and in the 14th century the small port developed into one of the most important trading centres in the region. The desolate and extensive desert in Southern Peru hides one of the most spectacular secrets of Nazca culture, the legendary and mysterious geoglyphs engraved on the surface of the desert. There are illustrations of various animals that measure a hundred metres and further images that extend for several kilometres. The precision and huge dimensions of these lines is simply breathtaking. For some time it was believed that they could only be discerned from the sky but the truth is that they can be seen from the neighbouring hills. Perhaps at some time in the future and with the help of more archaeological discoveries there will be further revelations with regard to the mysteries of the Inca people. However, in this region, each discovery leads to a new mystery!

Discover the gems of the 15th Century Incan empire, a domain which covered much of South America. The splendid cities of Curzo and Chairana and the grandeur of Machu Picchu captivated the imagination and, unfortunately, greed of the Spanish conquistadors. Lifelike virtual construction gives us a close look at the massive sacred grounds of the Temple of the Sun at Cuzco, religious and political capital of a world known to generations of European adventurers as El Dorado.
The Inca Empire or Inka Empire (Quechua: Tawantinsuyu[pronunciation?]) was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. The administrative, political and military center of the empire was located in Cusco in modern-day Peru. The Inca civilization arose from the highlands of Peru sometime in the early 13th century, and the last Inca stronghold was conquered by the Spanish in 1572.
From 1438 to 1533, the Incas used a variety of methods, from conquest to peaceful assimilation, to incorporate a large portion of western South America, centered on the Andean mountain ranges, including, besides Peru, large parts of modern Ecuador, western and south central Bolivia, northwest Argentina, north and central Chile, and a small part of southern Colombia into a state comparable to the historical empires of Eurasia.
The official language of the empire was Quechua, although hundreds of local languages and dialects of Quechua were spoken. The Inca referred to their empire as Tawantinsuyu which can be translated as "The Four Regions" or "The Four United Provinces."
Many local forms of worship persisted in the empire, most of them concerning local sacred Huacas, but the Inca leadership encouraged the worship of Inti—the sun god—and imposed its sovereignty above other cults such as that of Pachamama. The Incas considered their King, the Sapa Inca, to be the "child of the sun."
