Glorious ruins, Machu Picchu

Chilean poet Pablo Neruda praised in his most famous long poem 'The Summit of Machu Picchu': I see the ancient stone buildings nestled between the lush Andes peaks. The torrent rushes down from the castle that has been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years. ... On this rugged highland, in these glorious ruins, I found the principles and beliefs necessary to continue writing poetry. The ancestors of the Incas lived in the highlands of Peru, later migrated to Cusco, established the Kingdom of Cusco, and developed into the Inca Empire in 1438. The Inca Empire, between 1438 and 1533, used various methods such as military conquest and peaceful assimilation, so that the territory of the Inca Empire almost covered the entire western South America (spanning today's Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina), it was a vast indigenous empire in America. In 1526, the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro led a 168-man army from Panama to the south and discovered the Inca Empire. The Inca Empire was destroyed in 1533 and became a colony of the Spanish Empire. The Incas did not have their own writing, many historical facts are difficult to verify, but from this Machu Picchu built between the towering mountains, it is enough to glimpse the advanced technology, astronomy, crafts, etc. at that time. In 1983, it was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, and the registered name is the Ancient Temple of Machu Picchu.
