EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Fortress of Sacsahuaman and Throne of the Incas, perched high in the hills above Cuzco, Peru. Dating back to the 12th century, this historic citadel was initially built by the Killke culture and later expanded by the Incas as their capital city. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a testament to ancient Incan architecture and ingenuity. The image showcases the impressive drystone walls that make up this fortification, stretching across the hilltop with remarkable precision. The man-made steps leading up to the fortress add an element of scale and perspective to this breathtaking landscape. In this snapshot from "Tour of the World", taken in the 1930s by Keystone View Company, we see two men standing near one of these walls, providing a sense of human presence against such grandeur. Their figures serve as a reminder of our connection to history and how we are but temporary visitors in these timeless surroundings. As you gaze upon this photograph, let your imagination transport you back centuries ago when mighty empires ruled over vast territories. Experience firsthand what it must have been like for those who walked these very paths long before us. Let yourself be captivated by both nature's beauty and mankind's architectural prowess preserved within these ancient walls.
