Watching the documentary of Machu Picchu was so fantastic for me. This is the best documentary I've ever watched. I truly love it so bad because I like to know something about historical place that's why I took tourism major when I was in Jakarta. ^^
The only thing I could not enjoy was the listening part. Honestly, I am still working on it. However, I am still curious about who built this amazing place. The person who built this place must have been given a very amazing skill and awesome thought. I wish I will know the person someday. I was speechless when I watched how really neat the Inca made the terraces, the irrigation system, the water fountains and everything they in it.
Comparing modern people who use fancy machine who made buildings to the Inca people is nothing. Can you imagine how pretty clever they are in making Machu Picchu without using any technological tools in the past?
