Machu Pichu isn't ancient, it was (probably) built in the 15th century.

I know that's still a long time ago, and I'm not just trying to be pedantic, I just think it's worth pointing out that in the grand scheme of things, it's really not very old!

The University of Oxford and Notre Dame Cathedral for example, both pre-date it by about 400 years. The Roanoke colony in modern-day North Carolina, was built around the same time as Machu Pichu too.

It's a beautiful view and I don't mean to shit on you, just think it's interesting to point out how relatively recently it was built.

It's quite the trip to get there, but man is it worth it.

I bet that when the sun his just right, these hills sing.
