The incredible discovery of Machu Picchu in Peru, from 1915 to its current state
The contrast of the following “then and now” snaps is hard to ignore. If you’ve never heard about it, Machu Picchu is an ancient Inca city located in the Peruvian mountains. It was built in the 15th century and was abandoned afterward. Scientists still ignore the exact purpose this place served.
You can only imagine the surprised look on archaeologists’ faces when they came across this ancient city made of stone. Judging by the picture on top, the grass had accumulated on the city’s surface and had concealed it. To uncover it completely must have taken a lot of curiosity and, above all, patience.
