The architecture of Machu Picchu : When the Incas
built Machu Picchu they shaped the stones of the buildings so exact
that to this day you can't fit a thin knife between the stones. The
stones aren't staying together because of mortar but because of pure
craftsmanship. The homes were shaped like a pentagonal prism. The strange thing
about the building in Machu Picchu is they were built without roofs.
Some of the buildings were built in a rectangular prism shapes. The
doors of most of the buildings were trapezoid shaped. The only
buildings with roofs were the homes that were on the outside of
Machu Picchu, they were very small huts, and the Sapa Inca's
temples. |
