As twilight descends on the Andean peaks, we find ourselves perched in the lost city of Machu Picchu, where whispers of a once-great civilization linger in the cool mountain air. Here, nestled between craggy cliffs, the Inca showcased their ingenuity in stonework and reverence for the natural world, creating a city that blends seamlessly with the sky and earth. Our journey explores the echoes of Pachacutis reign, the silent testimonies of temples and terraces that speak to the Incas harmonious relationship with the cosmos and their ambition carved in stone. Let the spirits of the past guide us into a night of peaceful reflection on the achievements of human creativity and resilience. This episode is hosted by Ashley Johnson.
