A Look into Incan Engineering with Modern Technology."
Some weeks ago, I visited Machu Picchu located in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The place is difficult to get to because it can only be accessed through a train, while walking or by helicopter. Using my electronic sensors, I conducted a systematic observation to unravel what machu picchu has been hiding for centuries. With its interesting flooring and sophisticated building techniques, Machu Picchu still remains a wonder of architecture. My sensors recorded a large collection of stones, highlighting that no two stones were equal in size or height yet they fit together almost seamlessly without any apparent bonding agent. Furthermore, the steps climbed were steep and displayed geometric patterns known as Step, Water, Axis, Formality and Functionality terraces revealing the perfect symmetry of each structure. The walls also inclined slightly to create balance and even a primary functional purpose of drainage. The heights at which these terraces are built kept increasing, so it shows larger asymmetrical construction, similar to how we create pixels. Visiting Machu Picchu gave me insight into the intricate engineering and architectural skills used in Inca societies with not even cutting edge technology at the time.
