3rd Reflection (Lost world)

The similarities and differences of machu picchu and chichen itza.

       Machu picchu located at Spanish, its was build around 1450 at the high of Inca empire and founded by Spanish when they arrived in the 1500 s.Machu picchu was an estate of the Inca Emperor pachacuti and sacred religious site because the site is built on and around mountain.That hold high religious importance  in the Inca culture and the precious culture that occupied the land.Hiram Bingham, a Yale archaeologist and academi was explorer the area when he found the ruins with the help of a local farmer.Machu Picchu has thousand  of Inca artifacts made from rock.

      While, the Chichen Itza located at forest Yucatan peninsula maxico and founded in the year 514 of our era by the priest lakin chan who also called Itzamna. The name chichen Itza direct from Mayan language.Chi is Mouth,Chen is well and Itza is the tribe that inhabited the area.Chichen Itza has fast become the best restored record of the spiritual,domestic and agricultural lives of these people.Their sacrificed object and human being into the denote as a form of worships to the Mayan rain God.The Chichen Itza architecture is seen to have two distinctive style, traditional Mayan architecture and more recent Toltec architecture.

      The similarities both of Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza is form of building.Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza made of stone with the use of manpower.In addition, Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza is a place that is left for so long.Machu Picchu abandoned some forty years, while the Chichen Itza abandoned by the Mayan in the tenth century before Columbia reached the area.

Of these two places, I am more interested in the Machu Picchu because,Machu Picchu one of the top archeological site on the planet and have mystery  as to how the Inca manage to move the large rock that they used to construct the city.Furthermore its location in the mountains very interesting and unique and has many artifacts made of stone.
