Machu Picchu is important because it is a place that is pretty and there is mountains and it is part of Peru. There is the Central Plaza, Artisan Wall, Slide Rock, Rock Quarry, Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Condor, Sacred Plaza, Main Gate, Aqueduct, and the Intiwatana. Machu Picchu people use concrete and bricks or stones to build houses and so on. There are also many fountains and waterfalls, such as the ones that have smoke coming out, and so on. Unfortunately, most cities built by the Inca Civilization was destroyed by the Spanish conquest. The Inca Trail was used as a Pilgrimage path to Machu Picchu. Hiram Bingham did not discover Machu Picchu. When Hiram Bingham arrived in 1911, he found a painting in the Temple Of The Three windows saying "Agustin Lizarraga 1902" . He was a farmer from Santa Teresa, a town next to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, he fell into the Urubamba River in 1912 and died. Everyone agrees that Hiram Bingham did not discover Machu Picchu. However, Hiram Bingham gave scientific and historical value, bringing attention to this citadel. In 1913, "National Geographic" magazine published a detailed article introducing Machu Picchu and its work, revealing the great citadel. So we can say, in fact, that Hiram Bingham is the scientific discoverer of Machu Picchu.
