In the Unit place, this region con tains the VPHtlin-a of the numt ancient and nioxt advanced eulture In South Amerlcn. Thrae rrniulna coin-Ut lu part of the nil in of roads and aque ducta; wnlla and terraces, fortrcuws, towns and cities, llexhles the works of the ancient enulnei-rs anil arehllecta, there are the fragmentary remnlna of the ancient nietalliireUts, potters, and weavers. Here and there In old burial cave may be found lwolnici)S of bronze and silver ornaments, tools and utensils. Originally there was considerable fold to be found; but four centuries of treaure seekers have h it so little In the way of pre cious metals fur the modern explorer that he niust have other objects In view or he will be anclly disappointed. The larger part of the population of this lofty Amerlcnn Tibet today Is composed of non Spanish siienklni Indians. Their commonest lunKuuge Is Kechua or gulchua. The hlsti rleal tfeocrnpliy of the Andes of Peru and Itollvla offers series of problems of Intense Inter est These Include the oilnln of the ancient cllles, such as Thihuiimirn, Cuzco, and Mnrliu rirrhti; the rela tion of the different type of architec ture. Including; the monolithic, the adobe, and the rubble ; the question of the migration of races, the.rpread of the ancient civilization, and the se quence of cultures, beside a thou sand and one queries as to the man ners and customs, government, re ligion, and philosophy of those Illiter ate but very skillful engineer and Soldier, the tncas, and their prede cessor, the "Megnlltlilc Folk."- Had 8ystm of Highways, Mnchu Plocliu was first found after climb over mountain ridges and alonr sheer cliffs. Later the remains of old highways were found. It thus appears that the hullih-rs of Muchu I'lcchu had an elaborate system of highways throughout this little known and almost unexplored country which lies between the I'mbnmha valley and the Apurlmnc ThU region was once densely populated, and Mnchu I'lecha wns Its mpltnl. There are no other ruins In the region that approach the hidden city In mngnlflrenee, nil hough there are a (rent many whose archi tecture bears R striking reseniblniic to the les Important buildings In Mnchu I'lcchu Itself. Study of the remains found at Mnchu riccbn Indicate that wa have here an essentially Inca city, using the term Inca In It most reasonable sense that Is. to designate the tribes and nations that occupied the iniijor part of the central Andes from earliest times down to the Ppiuilsh conquest. Lack of timber, the prevalence of heavy ruins during part of the year, and the ease with which stone might be procured early led In the develop ment of atone as building material. Strength and ermimenco were se cured through the keying together of Irregular block. The upper and lower surface of these atone were fre quently convexed or concaved, the convexity of one stone approximating the concavity of the adjoining stone. In constructing their walls the pure arch was not evolved. They developed several Ingenious device such as "lock-holes" for fastening the bar back of door J "ring-atone," which were Inserted In the gables to enable the roofing beam to be tied on ; pro jecting stone cylinder, which could be used a point to which to tie the roof and kwp It from blowing off. The ancient builder also provided for ventilation und drainage. Although li e buildings are extreme ly well built, there I no cement or niorlar In the masonry, and tliers Is Machu Pleohu Rtglon. no means of preventing the roots of forest trees from penetrating the walls and eventually tearing them all down. In several esses gigantic trees were found perched on the very tips of the gnhle ends of small and beau tifully constructed houses. It was dlllU-utt to rut down and get such trees out of the way without seriously damaging the house walla. City of Rsfug. Macho I'lcchu was essentially a city of refuge. It Is perched on a moun tain top In the most Innecesslbtt corner of the most Inacreaslble sec tion of the rrubamlia river. Apparent ly there I no part of the Andes that baa been better defended by nature. A atupcudou canyon, where the principal rock la granite and where the precipices are frequently over !, UK) fi-ot sheer, presents difficulties of attack and facilities for defense sec ond to none. Here on a narrow ridge, Hanked ou all sides by precipitous or nearly precipitous slopes, a highly civilized iH-ople arllxllr, Inventive, and capable of sustained endeavor at some time In the renn to past built tnemselvcs a city of refuge. HI nee they had no Iron or steel tiMila only atone hammers Its con struct Inn must have cost many gen erations. If not centuries, of effort Across Hie ridge, and defending the builder from attack on the side of the main mountain range, they con structed two wi.ll. One of them, con stituting the outer line of defense, lead from precipice to precipice, utilizing as best It can the natural steepness of the hill. Ileynnd this, and on top of the mount iiln called Muchu I'lcchu. which overlooks the valley frmn the very summit ef one of the niwt stupendous precipices In the canyon. Is constructed a signal station, from which the ap proach of an enemy could lie Instantly communicated to the rlty Mow, With in the outer wull they constructed an extensive series of agricultural ter races, atone lined and averaging about right feet high. Iletween these and the city Is a steep, dry moat and the Inner wall. When the members of an attacking force bad safely mwntlated the precipitous and easily defended sides of the moat, tliey would still find themselves outside the Inner defenses of the city, which consisted of a wall from fifteen to twenty ft-et high, coin posed nf the largest stones that could he found In the vicinity many of them hni'e bowlders weighing many ton. This wall Is carried straight across the ridge from one precipitous side to the other. These defenses are on the south aide nf the rlty. On the north aide, on the narrow ridge connecting the city with lluayn I'lcchu, atrotig defensive terrnce were afrateglcally placed en a to render nil the danger of an attack on this aide. Construction of the Houses. On 'entering the city, perhaps the first characteristic that strikes on Is Hint large majority nf the houses were story and a half In height, with gable ends, end that these gnhle ends are marked by cylindrical block projecting nut from the house Insurli a way ns to suggest the Idea of the end of the rafter. The wooden rafter have all disappeared, hut the ring-stone to which they were tied may tlll be seen. The next most conspicuous feature nf Machu I'lcchu I the quantity of stairways, there being over tlK), large and small, within the city. Koine of them have more thnn IV) step, while otliers have but three or four. In some cases each step Is a single block of stone 3 or 4 feet wide. In others the entire atulrwny alx, eight, or ten steps, pa the rase might be wat rul out of a single granite boulder. The largest level apace In the city wns carefully graded and terraced, so ns to lie used for agricultural pur poses, on the product of which the Itihnhltniits could fall back for a time In ruse of a siege. It seems probable that one reason why the. city was deserted was a change In climate, resulting In scar city of water supply. At the present time there are only three small springs on the mountain side, and In the dry season these could barely furnish wa ter enough for cooking and drinking purposes for 40 or CO people.
