Who ACTUALLY Built Machu Picchu
Notes de l’épisode
Today, we journey through history, myth, and engineering genius to uncover the complex truth behind one of the most breathtaking wonders on Earth: Machu Picchu. From the dramatic cloud forests of the Andes and incredible dry-stone construction to royal estate life, a sudden and mysterious abandonment, Hiram Bingham’s famous rediscovery, and the ancient site’s real, forgotten name, we explore how an elusive 15th-century mountain sanctuary was built, why it was left behind, and what it reveals about the Inca Empire.
