Description
The Incas believed that everything was connected.
And in case you did not know, the wonder of Machu Picchu is deeply connected to the stars.
Recent archaeological and ethnological studies confirm that Machu Picchu was a sacred ceremonial site, a center of agricultural experimentation and an astronomical observatory.
The main objective of the Incas was the unification of the Andean world.
Since its economy was based mainly on agriculture, the Inca society needed to have a grasp on the movement of the stars and how the land (and ultimately crops) would be affected.
Lucky for them, the Incas had inherited most of this knowledge from their predecessors, the first settlers of Caral (3000 BC).
Aware of the orbit schedules and patterns of the planets, the Incas used mounds (cairns) in the villages to observe these movements and time markers.
