Why Machu Picchu RULES, according to Luke Caverns

TL;DR

Luke Caverns argues Machu Picchu is miraculous due to its massive scale, treacherous altitude, and architecture rivaling ancient Egypt.

Key Points

  • 1.The sheer scale of Machu Picchu reveals Inca civilization's immense power. Centered in Cusco, the empire visibly fed millions across conquered regions, which becomes apparent during the 3-hour taxi ride to Ollantaytambo and into the Amazon.
  • 2.The site's altitude and mountain terrain made it a defensible fortress. The treacherous mountainside setting was clearly intentional, combining beauty with strategic protection at an imposing scale that photos fail to capture.
  • 3.Inca architecture rivals and often surpasses ancient Egypt. Luke Caverns claims much of the stonework in the Inca realm is vastly superior to most ancient Egyptian architecture, with Machu Picchu being a prime example.
