Perched atop a mountain crest, mysteriously abandoned more than four
centuries ago, Machu Picchu is the most famous archeological ruin in the
Western Hemisphere and an iconic symbol of the power and engineering
prowess of the Inca. In the years since Machu Picchu was discovered by
Hiram Bingham in 1911, there have been countless theories about this
"Lost City of the Incas," yet it remains an enigma. Why did the Incas
build it on such an inaccessible site? Who lived among its stone
buildings, farmed its emerald green terraces, and drank from its
sophisticated aqueduct system? NOVA joins a new generation of
archeologists as they probe areas of Machu Picchu that haven't been
touched since the time of the Incas. See what they discover when they
unearth burials of the people who built the sacred site.
