The short story of Machu Picchu
Why Machu Picchu built?
Machu Picchu is one of the most brilliant historical monuments on Earth, and it is a very outstanding fortress in the world. The building of that fortress began about the year 1440, about 50 years before Columbus, and in that building were not used mortar. Stones that are used for that project were put in their place very sharp, and this keeps the walls in cohesion.
That means that clothes or other things were not uncovered the construction work, which could be uncovered because of the dust of mortar. And if one sack of the cement would be dropped to some river, or leak to the road would that uncover the building site. And the question is, why that place was kept in secret? The construction began 50 years before Columbus, which means that it would not be made against Spanish.
That thing is telling that maybe Machu Picchu was kept secret even from Incas, and the location of that fortress is near Cuzco. The name of the place is telling, that maybe there were two usages for that place, the first was "Machu" and other was "Picchu", which means that there was the role, what was told to the people, who were working in that area. Actually, this was only thought, but Machu Picchu means "High mountain", and that thing might mean, that it was used to train the highest rank Inca officials.
And the second one, what was reserved to people, who were highest grade priests or Inca officials. In fact, the term "priest" could mean the personnel, who have orders to keep silent about their work, and the thing why those Indians were used to sacrifice humans in their rituals was to isolate the priests and high-rank officials from the regular people. When we are thinking about the society of Machu Picchu, children were very good tools for uncovering secrets, what those workers talked.
The purpose of human sacrifices was to isolate priests from normal society
The workers were needed to plant the food to the people, who were living in that fortress. And children would tell the things to the Inca priests. Maybe the purpose of Machu Picchu was to produce children, who were grown in the fortress couple of years, and then they slipped in the families, which was suitable for growing those people. And then they were called back to Machu Picchu.
When we are thinking about human sacrifice, that ritual might be a good way to cause hate against those people, who delivered that child to priests. And another thing was guaranteed that the people, who were chosen as the priests, who were the ruling class of the Inca state didn't tell anything about their work to regular people. Identities of the priests were covered, which meant that the regular people couldn't threaten them by giving some poisonous food to priests.
The interesting question is: Did some Incas move to Spain?
When Spanish came, the Inca resistance was collapsed at least in the year 1572, and sometimes I have thought that maybe some of those Incas moved to Spain where they were not recognized. In fact, I must say that maybe the high-class Incas were not very popular in their state, and when we are thinking really careful, we must ask, where the acts of revenge would not look for those men and women?
The appearance of Incas was not different from Spanish, and if they were learning to speak Spanish, they might be moved to the place, where their enemies would not even think to look at them. And that place was next to the castle of the King of Spain, and that might be a good topic for some book, but there is no physical evidence that some Incas were moved to Europe, and that's why this is only the writing or thinking, how would you want to say that.
