À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this pilot episode, Lucas and Luna climb into the Andes to the remote saddle where Machu Picchu was built around 1450 AD, under the Inca emperor Pachacuti. They explore the site's sophisticated dry-stone masonry, its agricultural terraces that fed hundreds, and the mystery of why it was abandoned less than a century later. Lucas explains the role of the ceque system and the Intihuatana stone in Inca cosmology, and how Hiram Bingham's 1911 'discovery' fit into a longer history of local knowledge. The episode ends with a question about what Machu Picchu meant to the Incas themselves.
