MACHU PICCHU, understanding without words

We have inconsistencies in our history because in the world we live on, we are followers. We follow a path of ideologies that are not our own. Ever since the occidental world arrived, it has tried to impose in
their entirety forms of dress, dogma and practices that ACCORDING TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE ANDEAN people OPPOSE HARMONY WITH NATURE.
Since MACHU PICCHU is situated in a protective zone, it has not suffered this cultural catastrophe in
spite of the religious movements of our era already settled in the small, valley town known as AGUAS
CALIENTES (warm water); that is the farthest they already reached.
Today we must strive for oneness with our true essence, and travel the path of inner peace. These is the only way that we can conquer our own demons and harmonize our SOUL elements with the ones that comes from the beauty of NATURE.
The urban distribution of MACHU PICCHU, along with its agricultural settings, like terraces and farms, suggest that it was designed for an estimated 600 to 800 inhabitants. The CITY was capable of
producing enough food and raw material necessary for its own survival. So then MACHU PICCHU was an independent center that demonstrated organization and provided protection for all its residents.
It was not a satellite city,     on the contrary it was a center for other groups of people and entire communities.
The INKAN society in its more elevated stages of development became an empire whose frontiers extended thousands of kilometers from its center and capital of CUSCO.  Any empire with a land region so expansive, like that of the INKAS, would establish at its most distant points, entire teams of people prepared in the art of war,  just as the INKAS did in their time, to control both its access and its
likely expansion if necessary. There would have been no reason to construct a fort less than 100 kilometers from its capital, and further more, its limited dimensions made it incapable of sheltering and sustaining thousands of soldiers that would have been required for a potential defense. This holds true when we consider the INKAN society as an empire, but when we consider MACHU PICCHU as a
CITY-COMMUNITY, we should keep in mind that the concept of material wealth in those times was
very different from the European definition of material wealth. Gold was just a metal and was valued for its spiritual significance over its modern economic value. Gold represented the Earth's Sun, and
silver represented the Moon. The ANDEAN WORLD's community principle stated that everything belongs to Mother Earth (Pachamama) and all was to be shared among all people as life had arranged
it. To rob or unjustly appropriate for one's own selfish good was not practical in the ANDEAN WORLD.
