Tech & Engineering

Machu Picchu

Built over 500 years ago by the Inca, Machu Picchu is a marvel of ancient engineering perched nearly 2,500 meters above sea level. Without modern tools or mortar, the Incas used precise stone-cutting techniques to fit massive granite blocks so tightly that not even a blade of grass fits between them.

The city’s terraced slopes, advanced drainage, and ability to withstand earthquakes show a deep understanding of both structural engineering and the natural environment — making it one of the greatest feats of pre-modern design.
