EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable terrace buildings nestled within the awe-inspiring Inca citadel, which was constructed in the 15th century. The image, captured by Pre-Columbian photographer Paul Maeyaert, transports us to Machu Picchu in Peru, where these ancient structures stand as a testament to South American history and architectural brilliance. The terracing of these tiered settlements is truly mesmerizing, as they gracefully ascend the mountainous landscape of the Andes. Each stone meticulously placed to create a harmonious blend between human ingenuity and natural beauty. The stepped design of these buildings not only adds visual appeal but also serves practical purposes such as preventing erosion and maximizing agricultural productivity. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the magnificence of Incan civilization. The pitched roofs atop each building hint at their functional use while adding an element of charm to this archaeological site. It is important to note that this photo should not be used for commercial purposes without proper authorization from its copyright holder. However, it serves as a valuable educational tool allowing us to appreciate and learn about pre-Columbian Peruvian culture through its stunning architecture and breathtaking landscapes.
