Machhu Picchu is thought to be a ceremonial site. It was built in 1405 and the only reason it was not destroyed by the Spanish was that they didn't find it. The site was rediscovered the early 1900s. However it was not excavated by an archaeological team for another 10 or so years later and it took another 70 years for it to be deemed a historical site.

No they didn't. It is a HUGE stone, flat top, pyramid. The structure was visible, but over grown from the jungle. I believe they have excavated Incan bones and artifacts from the site.

Hi ifa, I had watched a documentary where they explained that it was designed and created by Ancient Aliens and the proofs that they explained in that documentary seemed logical to me. You can check this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zv_YJtkQ-g
