As I walked through the city, I imagined what it was like to live in this city 500 years ago. The city was full of secrets and mysteries. There are so many questions connected to the magic of the city. If the Incan people, whom were known by other Peruvians as gods, built Machu Picchu then why would mortals be honored with the answers of the city? The mysteries protect the city from the intrusion of the world.
With each step further into the city, I could feel it’s power move through me. If was as if I stepped into a time of simplicity and great intelligence. A time where people honored the earth, spoke with the spirits, and knew the importance of tradition, culture, and honor.
The History of the Incan People
When the Spaniards started to attack Cusco, the leader of the Incan people, escaped into the rainforests of Peru with his people. He took over 200,000 people with him. They went from city to city walking twice as slow as it would normally take. But still the Spaniards did not reach him. To confuse the Spaniards the Incan people traveled through the jungle and disappeared.
People have been exploring the jungle for hundreds of years. They have searching everywhere for remains of the Incans but nothing has ever been found. Some say, that when the planets align, and the world moves into a time of drastic change, the Incan people will return and take their rightful place in Machu Picchu.
