Here are some fun facts about Machu PicchuIn the Quechua Indian language “Machu
Picchu” means “Old peak” or “Old mountain”Machu Picchu is made up of more than 150
buildings from baths and houses to temples and sanctuaries
Although many of the stones that were used to build the city were more than 50 pounds , it is believed that no wheels where used to transport these rocks up the mountain , Rather it’s though that hundreds of men pushed the heavy rocks up the steep mountain side.
