The Great Wall of China is an extensive fortification made of stone and Earth that was built between the 5th and 16th centuries BC. It safeguarded the Chinese Empire’s borders from the Mongol Invaders. It restricted the regular invasions of Huns and Tartars by a considerable margin. Encouraging or regulating trades, Imposing transportation duties over the Silk Route, controlling emigration, and restricting passage through the borders were the primary objectives of creating the Great Wall. The Great Wall is, in reality, a creation of walls that proceed in succession and covers about 4,000 miles. This human-made structure is the largest in the world and ranks among the Seven Wonders of the World. It continues along the arc delineating the Mongolian interior in its southern edge.

Machu Picchu was a sacred archaeological center for the inhabitants of Cusco, the capital of Inca. The 2 Andean Peaks rise to a great height as the sparkling granite of the Incan city sits firmly on them. The Incase had built their estate atop the peak of the Incan empire around 1450. However, the Spanish conquest that took place about a century later would compel them to abandon it. During the colonial period, the Spanish weren’t aware of the presence of Machu Picchu, although the inhabitants were aware of it. It also remained hidden from the outside world till it was brought to light by Hiram Bingham, the American historian in 1911.

It was also a robust economic and political platform for the entire Mayan civilization. The ruins of an astronomical observatory known as El Caracol reflect the sophistication of the Mayans. You may visit God Kukulkan’s temple at El Castillo. The Post-classic period saw the growth and prosperity of several Mexican cultures like that of the Aztecs. These races had worshipped the god Quetzalcoatl, who was closely related to Yucatec Serpent deity bearing Mayan feathers.

Square terraces help in forming the pyramid possessing stairways that move up the four sides and reach the top where the temple was built. The northern balustrade has sculptures of serpents running down the sides. The pyramid has a northwest corner that reflects the Sun’s rays on late afternoons during autumn and spring equinoxes.
