Nestled between the Andes and Amazon Basin is a historical site like no other.  Built in the 15th century and conquered by the Spaniards in the 16th century  Machu Picchu was trapped in time until the early 1900s, when it was discovered  again. Sitting at more than 7,800 feet above sea level it is surrounded by mountain  slopes, peaks and valleys. Machu Picchu is the last known Inca stronghold, and it  provides a glimpse of the life many Inca’s experienced during the 15th century. The  breath-taking cultural site is one of the most signifigant and prized travel  destinations in the world.  The construction of Machu Picchu was set out to a rigorous plan and according  to Historic Santuary of Machu Picchu by UNESCO it “comprises one of the most  spectacular creations of the Inca empire.” Several individual quarters may be  noted in the ruins including hanging gardens and a ‘royal’ quarter. The building  layouts of Machu Picchu provide a glimpse for visitors today to see what the  construction and architecture was like in the 15th century Inca empire. All of its  giant walls, terraces, and ramps seem to be cut naturally from rock escarpments.  The Stones of Machu Picchu by Duane Damon stated that the larger stones of the  granite building blocks appeared to weigh 10-15 tons! Every stone was also  carefully cut and “exquisitely fitted together.” The use of natural raw materials to  provide architecture is said to be one of the world’s greatest examples. It’s no  wonder why all kinds of people flock to Machu Picchu to examine the spectacular  architecture.

The Stones of Machu Picchu claims that Machu Picchu is one of the world’s  great archaeological wonders. Not only does it contain spectacular architecture  but the natural setting of Machu Picchu also encompasses its unique enviromental  habitats for plenty of unique animal species and rich diversity of flora and fauna.

Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu by UNESCO says Machu Picchu is in some of

the scenically most attractive mountainous territory of the Peruvian Andes. The

surrounding valleys have cultivated exceptionally well for over 1,000 years and

some of the habitats give homes to endangered species. Several of them include

the spectacled bear, the dwarf brocket, and the Andean condor. When the ruins

were first discovered again in 1911 by Hiram Bingham he described them as

“covered with trees and moss, the growth of centuries”, as told by Duane Damon

in The Stones of Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu also contains many historical artifacts. Inca graves, stone dishes

and several bronze implements were discovered, as stated in The Stones of Mach

Picchu. The site contains many major historical and cultural inflences and some of

the people who live around Machu Picchu continue a way of life that resemble their

Inca ancestors, being based on potatoes, maize, and llamas. Although Machu

Picchu has stood for a long time, safety and sanitary issues for travelers and

visitors have started to emerge. However, don’t fret because high quality and new

long-term solutions are being built for the natural wonders. Machu Picchu is a very

unique sight not only for its educational value, but also for its condition.

Machu Picchu is a very signifigant travel destination for many reasons which

include its historical signifigance, amazing structures, and spectacular

enviromental sights. Located in a breathtaking natural setting, the city’s beauty

comes from its amazing architecture and mountaintop views. Visitors from all over

the world flock to the “city of the clouds” every year to get a glimpse of history

uncovered. They look, refect and wonder about many of the unanswered questions

surrounding Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu gives the modern generations a look

back to a time like no other and the experience is sure to last a lifetime.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
