 Machu Picchu wasn't always a lost city. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore what happened after the Inca Empire fell—how the Spanish conquest reached Cuzco but never touched the mountain citadel, why the Inca simply walked away, and how the site stayed hidden for centuries until Hiram Bingham's 1911 'discovery.' They discuss the role of the Vilcabamba region as a last Inca refuge, the death of Túpac Amaru, and the slow decay of a place left to the jungle. Lucas explains how local Quechua farmers knew about Machu Picchu all along, and why Bingham gets credit he may not deserve. The conversation also touches on recent scholarship that challenges old narratives about abandonment, and what the site's preservation tells us about Inca engineering and Spanish ignorance. A grounded, humane look at the end of a civilization and the birth of a myth.
