Mountain Vallsy in ths Machu Picchu Region.

Society. Washington. D. C.V
NE of the most remarkable ac
complishments Id uncovering
the secrets of the past In the
Western hemisphere was the
discovery a few years ago of Macliu
Picchu, hidden refuge city of^be In
cas, in the mountain fastnesses of
Peru. The discovery was made by an
expedition sent out by the National
Geographic society and Jfale univer-
^^ty under the leadership of Prof. HI-
Bingham, now United States sen
^P^or from Connecticut.
There is no part of the world which
offers to the scientific explorer a more
attractive field than the highlands of
Peru and Bolivia.
/In the first plape, this region con-*
tains the vestiges of the most ancient
and most advanced culture in South
America. These remains consist in
part of the ruins' of roads and aque
ducts; walls and terraces, fortresses,
towns and cities. Besides the works of
the ancient engineers and architects,
there are the fragmentary remains of
the aficient metallurgists' potters, and
I weavers. Here and there In old burial
reaves may be found specimens of
j bronze and silver ornaments, tools
i and utensils. Originally there was
1 considerable gold lo he found; but
1 four centuries of treasure seekers
j have left so little in the way of pre-
| cions metals for the, modern explorer
• that he must have other objects In
• view or he will^he sadly disappointed.
The larger part of the population
i of this lofty American Tibet today
U composed of non-Spanish speaking
j lndians. Their commonest language Is
Medina or qulchua.
f The histrrieal geography of the
.'Andes of Peru and Bolivia offers a
series of problems of Intense inter
est. These Include the oiigin of the
[ ancient cities, such as Tiahuanaco,
Cuzco, and Machu Picchu; the rela
tion of the different types of nrehitec-
; ture, including the nibnolithle, r the
; adobe, and the rubble; the question of
!the migration of races, the spread of
j the ancient civilization, and the se-
'quence of cultures, beside^ a thou-
|sand and one queries as to the man-
| ners and customs, government, re-
jKgion, and philosophy of those illlter*
•ate but very skillful-engineers and
jaoalierg, the Ideas, and their prede-
jeefrtors, tii'e “Megallthfc Folk.”
Nad System of Highways.
^HMncliu Picchu was first found after
pT climb over mountain ridaes and
|along she^r cliffs. Later the remains
J of ofd highways were found. It thus
I appears that the builders of Maehif^
{Picchu had an elaborate systenr of
j highways throughout this little knWn
and almost unexplored country which
jlies between the Urubamba valley and
—^ttre AfnifTmac. This - region was once
densely populated, and Maehii Picchu
■ ! was its capital. There are no other
j ruins in the region that approach the
hidden city In magnificencer although
no means of preventing the roots of
fbrest trees froiu penetrating the
'•walls and eventually tearing theih all
down. In several cases gigantic trees
were found perched on the very tips
of the gable ends of smaM and beau
tifully constructed houses. It was
difficult to cut down and get su£li
trees out of the way without seriously
damaging the house walls.
v City of Refuge.
Machu Picchu was essentially a city,
of refuge. It is perched on a moun
tain top in the most inaccessible
corner of the most inaccessible sec
tion of the Urubamba river. Apparent-
i/ there is no part of the Andes that
has been better defended by nature.
A stupendous canyon, where the
principal rock Is granite anywhere
the precipices are frequently over 1,-
(WO feet sheer, presents difficulties of
attack and facilities for defense sec
ond to none. Here on a narrow ridge,
flanked on all sides by precipitous or ,
nearly precipitous slopes, a highly Though pre\ented oy the crowd
“'civilized people—artistic, inventive, coming to Jasus, they ascended
and capable of sustained endeavor—at
some time In the remete past built
themselves a city of refuge.
Since they had no iron'or steel
tools—only stone hammers—its con
struction must* have cost many gen
erations, If not centuries, of effort.
Across the •*idge, and defending the
builders, from attack on the side of

I. Jesus Preaching ths Word (vy

1. The surging crowd (v. 2).
! So ;great was the crowd gathered
: about the house where Jesus was stop-
t ping, that there was no room to re-

I about that Jesus was in the house, the
: multitudes gathered.
2. What Jfe^us preached unto them
f (y. 2).
He preached unto them .the Word,
; of God. He always preached the
[ Word before He wrought miracles, for
to make knowm the will of God was
Is supreme mission. Miracles were
not an end In tbemseives, but to au
thenticate • His work. The people
came, some to be healed, and some
out of curiosity. He gave them that
which they, needed, regardless qf the
motive which actuated their coming.
II. Jesus Forgiving Sins (vv. 3-5) /

that of sin. This miracle was wrought

T
[there are a great/jjHiny w^hose archi
tecture bears a striking resemblance
to the less Important^ buildings In
Machu Picchu itself, js
Study of the remains found at
Machu Picchu indicate that we have
here an essentially Inca city, using
the term Inca in its most/reasonable
senSe—that is. to designate the tribes
nn<J nations that occupied the Imnjor
part of the central Andes from earliest
times down to the Spanish conquest.
Lack of timber, the prevalence of. v i M jiv still be'seen.
strueted Two walls. One of them, con
stituting “the outer line .of defense,
leads from precipice to precipice,
utilizing as best it can the natural
steepness of the hill.
Beyond this, and on top, of the
mountain called Machu Picchu, which
overlooks the valley from the very
summit of one of the most stupendous
precipices in the canyon, Is constructed
a signal station, from which the ap
proach of an enemy could be instantly
communicated to the city below. With
in the outer wall they constructed an
extensive series of agricultural ter
races, stone lined and averaging about
eigbt feet htglw- Between these and
the city Is a steep, dry moat and the
Inner wall.
When the members of an attacking
force had safely . negotiated the
precipitous and easily defended sides
" Of. the moat, they would still find
themselves outside the Inner defenses
of the city, which consisted of a wall
from fifteen to tweifty feet high, com
posed of the largest stones that couhl
be fouqd In the vicinity—many of
them huge bowlders weighing many
tons. This wall Is carried straight
across the ridge from one precipitous
side to the other. These defenses are/
on the .south "Sitle of the city.
On the north side, on, the narrow
ridge connecting the city with Huaynn
Picchu, strong defensive terraces
were strategically placed so ns to
render nil the danger of an attack
on this side.
- ,
. Construction of the Houses.'
On entering the city, perhaps the
first eharacteriMle ~Hmt strikes -one
is that a large majority of the houses
were a story and a half in ,height,
with gable ends, and that these gable
ends are marked by cylindrical blocks
projecting out from tlte, house in such
a way as to suggest the idea of the
ends of the rafters. The wooden
rafters have all. .disappeared, but the
ring-stones to which they, were tied
heavy rains during part of th^ year
and the ease with, which stone might
be procured early led to the develop
ment of stone as a building material.
Strength and permanence were se
cured through the keying together of
Irregular blocks. The upper and lower
surface of these stone? were’ fre
quently convexed or concaved,_the
convexity of one stone approximating
'the concavity of the adjoining stone.
In c« nstnicting their walls the pure
arch was not evolved. They developed
several Ingenious devices, such as
“lock-holes” fop- fa$teninjT~ the bar
of a door ; “ring-stones.” which
^Bre inserted in the gables to enable
roofing beams to be tied on; pro
jecting stone-cylinders, which, could
be used as points to which to tie the
roof and keep It from blowing off.
The ancient builders also provided for
ventilation and drainage.
Although the buildings are extreme
ly well built, there Is no cement or
mortar In the masonry, and there is
The next most conspicuous feature
of* Machu Picchu is' the quantity of
stairways, there being over 100, large
and small, within the city. Some of
them have more than h**) steps, whllo
. otliers have but three or four. Un
some cases each step is a single block
of stone 3 or 4 feet wide. In others
the entire etairway—six, eight, or ten
steps, as the case might >x be—was cur
out of a single granite boulder.
The largest level space in the city
was carefully graded and terraced, so
as to be used for agricultural pur-
imses, on the products of which the
Inhabitants could fall back for a time
In case of a siege. . .
It seems probable that one reason
why the city was deserted was a
change in climate, resulting In scar
city of water supply. At the present
time there are only three small springs
on the mountain side, and In the dry
season-these could barely furnish wa
ter enough for cooking and drinking
purposes for 40 or 00 people.

1. Their objectidns*(vv. 6, 7). They
asked: ,
(1) Why does He thus speak? (2)
Who CRn forgive sin?
.They were entirely right Inr their
reasonings that only God can forgive
sins. Their blunder was in not per
ceiving Him to be God. - /
2. Jesus’ answer (vv. 8-10). , /
He knew their inner thought? and
reasonings and manifested unto them
His essential deity in that He had
power to know their thought^/ He in
quired, "Which is easier to say, thy
sins be forgiven thee, or to say, arise
and take up thy bed and walk? But
that ye may know thaA the Son of man
hath power on earth to forgive sing.
He saith. to the sick of the palsy, >1
say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy
bed, and go thy way into thine housed
He was willing that His power in the
invisible realm should be tested by
His power in the visible. *
IV. Jesus Healing the Paralytic (vv.
11, m.
1. /His healing, was by the direct
method—speaking the Word~Tv. 11).
Christ's words are enough. With the
/command was given the strength to
obey. That which Christ commands
He gives.the strength to perform.
2. The obedience of the .man (v. 12).
He immediately aros£, took up his
bed and went forth before them all.
The popr helpless man walked away
with his bed upon 4«s shoulder.
3. The people were amazed, and
glorified-God (v. 12). They said, "We
never saw it on this fashion.”
V. Jeiu8~"Eating With Publicans
and Sinner* (vv. 13-17). -
1. The call of Levi (v. 14). Lpvl
was .a tax-gatherer under the Roman
government. As Jesus passed by, He
commanded Levi to leave his business
and follow Him.
2. Jesus dining in Levi’s house (v.
15). It seems that Levi, when he
found the Savior, invited many of his
business associates to eat with him.
This gave an opportunity to Jesus’
to come Into touch with these sin
ners. *
3. The perplexed scribes and phari
sees (v. 16). They asked, “How is it
that He eateth and drinketh with
publicans and sinners?”
. 4. Jesus' reply (v. 17). „ “They that
are whole have no need of the physi
cian. 1 came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.”
