EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring beauty of Machu Picchu, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. Taken in August 1912, after six weeks of meticulous clearing by the Yale Peruvian Expedition led by Hiram Bingham, this image showcases the west side of the Inca ruins. The sheer magnitude and grandeur of these ancient structures are evident as they stand proudly against a backdrop of untouched nature. The remnants of an empire long gone, these ruins offer a glimpse into the rich history and ingenuity of the Inca civilization. The photo highlights not only the architectural brilliance but also emphasizes how seamlessly Machu Picchu blends with its natural surroundings. Nestled amidst lush greenery and towering mountains, it is a testament to human resilience and harmony with nature. Hiram Bingham's expedition played a crucial role in uncovering this hidden gem from centuries past. Their dedication to preserving this cultural heritage allowed future generations to marvel at its splendor. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness Machu Picchu's early days when it was still being unveiled for modern eyes. It serves as a reminder that even after more than a century since its discovery, Machu Picchu continues to captivate our imagination and leave us humbled by its enduring legacy.
