The Forgotten City

I chose the Incan culture after visiting Machu Picchu on a missions trip two years ago. Machu Picchu, home of the Incan Indians, was hidden for 400 years before its discovery in 1911 by an explorer. It was built 13,000 feet up in the Andes Mountains as a religious retreat. By building it so high up in the mountains, they sought to escape annihilation by the Spanish conquiestadors who were after their gold and riches. There was only one entrance in and out of the city. It was guarded at all times which made it extremely difficult to get to the city. The road leading up to it was long and winding. Many perished on that road.
