Why Was Machu Picchu Abandoned? #machupicchu
Machu Picchu is one of the great wonders of the world, constructed by the Incas. This awe inspiring citadel was deserted in the 16th century, and no one is quite sure why. Did the Incas become ill and perish from smallpox, or did they choose to leave before the Spanish discovered the ancient city? The Spanish invaders never found Machu Picchu, as it turned out. Join us as we explore this fascinating archeological wonder. If you like this video and want to see more adventures, remember to hit the share button and subscribe!

    My hope is that the owner would be willing to sell it to our BC Government to have it converted into an residential treatment center for alcohol and drug addictions. This is in the far northwest corner of our province. The surrounding area would offer a therapeutic environment. The houses need updating, along with the rest of the buildings. A long term treatment would help people to recover and maybe learn skills training opportunities with rebuilding some of the existing buildings. This could serve for residences for the counselors and other supporting staff too. It is also the same hope I have for Ocean Falls right on the west coast on the mainland, it too is an abandoned small community with many of the buildings still intact.

      I suggest visiting the island before the cats get too old. The resident who takes care of them is also elderly, about 75-76.

    • @brooksysdead
      @brooksysdead 2 місяці тому

      Yes you can. And you can still get in. The famous graffiti highway is now buried under 400 dump truck loads or dirt because the property owner viewed it as a liability and wanted to prevent people from wanting to go there. You can definately still go to centralia and walk around though. It's the main inspiration for the silent hill franchise 😊

    The Japanese government should take over the houses, refurbish them and give them to the homeless. Even though their government says they don't have homeless people, it's a lie, their homeless population is steadily growing each year.

    • @AnObservantTraveller74
      @AnObservantTraveller74 3 місяці тому

      In Japan this can turn into a bureaucratic nightmare. The government can't just take over and relocate the homeless due to legal and cultural factors.

    The problem is those communities in Japan don't allow foreigners to settle, they are closed within. Even tho many foreigners would love to live there, they will be shunned etc... They will not sell to a foreigner. So they rather choose abandonment and decay over livelyhood and life.
