In June 1011, the University of Jerusalem survey team under the leadership of American explorer halmebinquy came from Cuzco to search for a secret base that the rest of the Inca Empire still retained after his Spain conquered Milu. As a result, the base was not found, but unexpectedly they discovered an abandoned "Aerial City" .

The area around the " Aerial City" is about 1,400m ² , the altitude is 2,300m above sea level, and is covered by cloud all year round. The environment around this city is very high and dangerous . The ferocious Urumbanba River from Cusco is divided by the cliff toward the north and entered the Amazone river system. The thrust of the water flow has formed a dangerous perpendicular cliff at an angle of 700m. Sa ReBan Mountain is 6,264m high compared to the sea level covered by thick white snow that reaches the ravine. The marble base above the dangerous place is the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu - the city is built on a mountain, 3 sides bordering the river, like there is no way up. The rooms are built in the middle of the mountain, which has hundreds of perfect natural stone columns, easy for remodeling and convenient for residents. In the city there are many types of architecture such as the sun god temple, the altar, the king's palace, the noble mansion, the residence of civilians or slaves, wards, markets, . There are some rooms that intersect like a labyrinth, it is easy to enter, it is difficult to turn out.

Most of the interior structures are lined with stone without mortar. The stones are bound together very firmly, the blade is also unable to slip into it. Stone walls built in public places weigh tons. Wall feet are perforated directly on the stone floor. Only 30,000 square meters of stone exploitation site. On the outside it can be proved: Not many stone materials are transported from somewhere, are pulled up the mountain by hard manpower and leverage. If the slave does not bring it up, he will be beaten. If the grass houses of the houses here exist, Machu Picchu deserves to be the most beautiful city in the world.

To meet the needs of self-sufficiency, the Incas reclaimed hundreds of terraced fields behind mountains and steep slopes to grow food crops. Each floor of cliffs is about 3m high, hundreds of meters long and overlapping messages to the top of the mountain.

On a small mound of the ancient site, there is a large rectangular stone plate incomparable. The surface of the stone was polished smooth, sharp edges, set to the east, on a stone tied a big rope by the mouth of the bowl. Through the archaeologists' testimony, this is the famous "Stone of the Sun" , expressing the desire not to let the Sun fall of the Incas, to forever illuminate the sentimental affection on Earth. In addition, "Stone of the Sun" is also a typical translation astronomical set. The Incas of that day knew through the change of sun shade to determine the season, creating the Sun calendar and relying on it for agriculture.

So, in what period was this citadel built and abandoned in what circumstances? Since the discovery of the "Aerial City" so far, there have been many scientific judgments about its existence and loss.

BinQuy - The first discoverer said: The temple shrines of the ancient city installed 3 ventilation doors, unlike other Inca sites. Therefore, this may be the birthplace of the creator of the Inca Empire - the first monarch Mankekapark.

There are a few scholars who think that Machu Picchu is "The City of the Goddess of the Sun" . Therefore, the ratio of male to female in the inner city is half. Beautiful women who are chosen to be the goddess of the Sun come from all over the country to be brought here, living a secluded life. Starting from having to keep secret, so the subjects are not aware of the existence of this citadel.

To explain the loss of this city, archaeologists have mentioned backward technology in the ancient period of the Incas. They said that providing clothes and food to a few tens of thousands of real people is not easy and accidental disaster, the ancient Incas have no way of sustaining life, only dispersing everywhere.

Machu Picchu does not suffer from natural sabotage and encounters the brutal assault of the tribes from the jungle or at times the devastating civil war between the rulers, the slaves of the uprising . Since then, residents mostly died or fled, this aerial city was abandoned.
