Text: How did Machu Picchu Work ?

Studyinig the infrastructure of na Inca site.
When Ruth Wright, a Colorado lawyer, first visited Machu Picchu with her daughters in 1974, she was, like most visitors, “bown away” by the legendary Inca site. But when she returned home, she was puzzled: how did the Inca get a water supply so high up on na Andean Mountain ?
After two decades spent seeking a permit that would allow them to investigate, Wright and her husband, Kenneth, a civil engineer, finally began to study the site’s infrastructure in 1994.They examined the layout of the buildings and how the fountains were designed. They also analyzed the typer of roofs used and what crops the residents grew on the terraces. They ended up with the most detailed map ever made of Machu Picchu, where 16 fountains one flowed and gave invaluable assistance to our own cartographers in producing the supplement map in this issue.
“basically, we´ve studied city planning there” Ruth says. Ken adds:”We´ve studied hydrology, enginneering, how it endured for 500 years without turning into a pile of Rubble.The Inca created a functioning community without a written language, iron and steel, or the Wheel. “ The Wrights surveyed the site again and again, turning up informatio in some cases only after hacking away Forest vegetation that had buried foundations, walls and a trail.
So how did the Inca get their water ? They built a canal to channel water from the natural spring on the mountain, the resulto of fractures in the underlying granite along the Machu Picchu fault.
