    It was likely the most astounding urban production of the Inca Empire at its stature; its goliath dividers, porches and inclines appear as though they have been cut actually in the ceaseless rock ledges. It was surrendered an expected 100 years after its development, most likely around the time the Spanish started their triumph of the relentless pre-Columbian human progress in the 1530s. There is no confirmation that the conquistadors ever assaulted or even came to the peak fortress, nonetheless; consequently, some have recommended that the occupants' abandonment happened as a result of a smallpox plague. Concealed in the rough wide open northwest of Cuzco, Peru, Machu Picchu is accepted to have been an illustrious domain or holy religious site for Inca pioneers, whose human advancement was for all intents and purposes wiped out by Spanish intruders in the sixteenth century. For a long time, until the American classicist Hiram Bingham unearthed it in 1911, the surrendered fortress' presence was a mystery known just to laborers living in the area.

    Francisco Pizarro was a Spanish conquistador who led an expedition that conquered the Inca Empire. Interestingly, through his father, he was a second cousin, once removed of Hernán Cortés. I guess the once removed apple doesn’t fall far from the once removed tree, ha. With his brothers and commission from Emperor Charles V. (unlike his once removed second cousin), Pizarro overthrew the Inca leader Atahualpa and conquered Peru. He founded the new capital city of Lima three years later. He claimed the land for Spain, and he killed Atahualpa despite the Peruvians/Incans paying the ransom. He forced Christianity onto them and forced them into serfdom. Thanks to his actions, many people died, and even now, he is still viewed negatively in the Peruvian…
