Machu Picchu: City Of Stone on SBS and SBS on Demand – In southern Peru stands an Inca city, uninhabited for several centuries but still virtually intact: Machu Pichu.
Discovered in the early 20th century, it attracts a million visitors every year from the four corners of the globe to admire the skills of the powerful civilisation that built it.
At an altitude of more than 2,400 metres, the Incas managed to carve out a deep ridge to erect a masterpiece of architecture and engineering in perfect harmony with nature. Its several dozen buildings, nestled between the mountains, extend over ten hectares.
Their interlocking stone construction has defied centuries of intense rainfall, frequent landslides, and neglect.
Now, thanks to insights from experts and spectacular 3D animation, we discover the secrets behind the construction of Machu Picchu and the genius of the Inca builders.
