Huayna Picchu Terraces

Terraces are carved high on Huayna Picchu. For decades Machu Picchu was a puzzle for archaeologists and historians. A 16th-century legal document and studies of the site’s architecture and artifacts in the latter 20th century have suggested a mountaintop retreat for Inca ruler Pachacutec Inca Yupanqui.

Beautiful take on Machu Picchu.

Living on the rocky coast of Maine, USA,
I often wonder how some century plus houses were build in the top of hills,
with all the obstacles of that time….and so much more current than Machu Picchu.
A friend of mind lives in a family homestead from before 1776
and another a stone house built near the top of a rocky hill in Seal Harbor. I sit
in amazement at the fact that everything had to be brought by sea and hauled up
the step hillside.
So, the terracing in the terrain of Machu Picchu … and the building and living there
amazes me. I wonder of the minds of people who even conceived of such and
idea.
Thank you for your comment.
Peace

It really is a wonder how they accomplished the terracing in that stony terrain
