I'm Marco and this is a 360 tour of Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Inca, built in the 15th century and abandoned for over 500 years.

我是馬可，這是馬丘比丘 360 度導覽，它是印加人失落的城市，建於 15 世紀，被遺棄了 500 多年。

Until I, Hiram Bingham, American adventure historian and world famous explorer, discovered it in 1911.

直到我，美國探險歷史學家、世界著名探險家海勒姆-賓厄姆，在 1911 年發現了它。

Come on Hiram, you had some help from the locals.

來吧，海勒姆，當地人幫了你不少忙。

Well regardless, I'll be joining you on today's tour of this extraordinary treasure of humanity and maybe even share some of its secrets.

無論如何，我今天都會和大家一起參觀這座非凡的人類寶藏，也許還會分享其中的一些祕密。

But a lot of your theories about Machu Picchu were eventually proven wrong.

但你關於馬丘比丘的許多理論最終都被證明是錯誤的。

沒關係，海勒姆，你還是很出名的。

Come on guys, let's go for a walk, show you around the place.

來吧，夥計們，我們出去走走，帶你們轉轉。

Hey, you know when I found this place it was covered in alpaca poop.

嘿，你知道當我發現這個地方的時候，這裡到處都是羊駝的糞便。

你知道我們怎麼稱呼羊駝的大便嗎？

You're now standing at the gates of Machu Picchu, the citadel of the Inca.

您現在正站在印加城堡馬丘比丘的大門口。

Located on a remote ridge line 2400 meters above sea level, where the Peruvian Andes meet the Amazon rainforest.

位於海拔 2400 米的偏遠山脊上，祕魯安第斯山脈與亞馬遜雨林在此交匯。

We're in the heart of what was once the Inca Empire, stretching north to Colombia, south to Argentina, all stitched together by 16,000 kilometers of stone highways like this one, which leads 82 kilometers to the Inca capital of Cusco.

我們正處於印加帝國的中心地帶，印加帝國向北延伸到哥倫比亞，向南延伸到阿根廷，由 1.6 萬公里的石板公路連接在一起，就像這條公路一樣，它通往印加帝國的首都庫斯科，全長 82 公里。

Now as close as we are to that capital, this road was traveled by few.

現在，雖然我們離首都很近，但很少有人走過這條路。

Obviously not the case anymore, but for some reason this magnificent collection of over 200 buildings and temples was lost to the jungle.

但不知何故，這座由 200 多座建築和寺廟組成的宏偉建築群在叢林中消失了。

And why was it built on this impossible location?

為什麼要建在這個不可能的地方？

Ever regret making this place so famous, Hiram?

有沒有後悔讓這個地方如此出名，海勒姆？

All the rock carved by hand from granite.

所有的岩石都是用花崗岩手工雕刻而成。

Some of these slabs weigh up to three tons and it's incredibly precise, even with modern technology.

有些石板重達三噸，即使使用現代技術，其精確度也令人難以置信。

讓我們來看看他們到底是怎麼做的。

The stones most likely came from this quarry, cut into slabs, hauled into place, and then chipped away until they fit together just right.

這些石塊很可能就來自這個採石場，它們被切割成石板，被拖到合適的位置，然後被削掉，直到它們完美地拼接在一起。

Crazy thing is that the Inca did all of this without mortar, without the wheel, and without a written language.

令人難以置信的是，印加人在沒有砂漿、沒有車輪、沒有書面語言的情況下完成了這一切。

But why go to all of this effort to build this place on this incredibly steep cliffside?

但是，為什麼要花這麼大力氣在這個陡峭無比的懸崖邊建造這個地方呢？

You know, the Inca called their empire Tawantinsuyo, the empire of the four cardinal points.

印加人稱他們的帝國為Tawantinsuyo，即四點帝國。

Machu Picchu fits perfectly within that, surrounded by four mountaintops that hit each point on the compass.

馬丘比丘與此完美契合，周圍有四座山頂，分別位於羅盤上的各個點上。

It's surrounded by mythical mountains and a sacred river, with a clear view of the night sky and the supreme deity, the sun god, Inti.

它被神祕的山脈和神聖的河流環繞，夜空和至高無上的神靈--太陽神因提的景色一覽無餘。

Yeah, that is when it's not covered in cloud, buddy.

是啊，那是在它沒有被雲層覆蓋的時候，夥計。

Well, it wouldn't be a lost city if it weren't covered in mist, would it, Hiram?

如果不是被迷霧籠罩 那就不是失落之城了 對吧 海勒姆？

This here is the sacred plaza, and that beauty over there is the temple of the sun.

這裡是神聖廣場，那邊的美景是太陽神殿。

The Inca were master observers of the sky and the stars, and on the summer solstice, the sunlight breaks through that window and illuminates the inside of the temple.

印加人是觀察天空和星辰的高手，夏至日的陽光會透過窗戶照亮神廟內部。

The entire city reflects this sacred architecture, worshipping sun, water, and earth.

整個城市都體現了這種神聖的建築風格，崇拜太陽、水和大地。

But this genius of design was not the only impressive thing about Machu Picchu.

但是，馬丘比丘給人留下深刻印象的不僅僅是這些天才的設計。

嘿，你知道還有什麼令人印象深刻嗎？

是啊，在這裡，哥們，在這裡。

When the Spanish conquered the Inca, they destroyed every temple they could find, using stones like these ones to build their Catholic cathedrals.

西班牙人征服印加人後，摧毀了他們能找到的所有寺廟，用這些石頭建造了他們的天主教大教堂。

That's what makes Machu Picchu so unique, is that it survived intact, which means the Spanish didn't know where it was, or never even knew it existed.

這就是馬丘比丘的獨特之處，它完好無損地保存了下來，這意味著西班牙人不知道它在哪裡，或者根本不知道它的存在。

But how could a place this impressive remain a secret?

但是，如此令人印象深刻的地方怎麼會一直是個祕密呢？

Still as impressive as the day I found it, except back then it was covered in jungle.

它仍然和我發現它的那天一樣令人印象深刻，只是那時它已被叢林覆蓋。

You see, it was the first archaeological discovery of this magnitude to be documented with photography.

你看，這是第一次用攝影記錄如此大規模的考古發現。

It's still a popular place to take a photo.

What is it about this idea of a lost city in the jungle of South America?

南美洲叢林中有一座失落的城市，這個想法到底是怎麼回事？

It's a myth that's existed since El Dorado, the city of gold the Spanish looked desperately for, but never found.

自西班牙人拼命尋找卻從未發現的黃金城埃爾多拉多（El Dorado）以來，這個神話就一直存在。

Why don't you keep that one to yourself, Hiram?

你為什麼不自己留著呢，海勒姆？

And if it weren't for these terraces, I'd have never found this place.

如果不是這些露臺，我可能永遠也找不到這個地方。

A magnificent feat of engineering that's protected Machu Picchu from destruction by landslide.

這是一項宏偉的工程壯舉，它保護了馬丘比丘免遭山體滑坡的破壞。

Not only do the terraces help drain off rainwater, but they were used to grow food for up to a thousand people.

梯田不僅有助於排洩雨水，而且還用來種植可供多達一千人食用的食物。

但是，為什麼這個地方會被遺棄呢？

My most important discovery was the burial ground.

You see, 80% of the bones that I found were of young women, which led me to believe they were the virgins of the sun, handpicked by the emperor himself to serve his every fancy.

你看，我發現的骸骨中有 80% 是年輕女性的，這讓我相信她們是太陽的處女，是皇帝親自挑選的，為他的每一個幻想服務。

Unfortunately, modern DNA testing has shown that those bones were an even split of guys and girls.

不幸的是，現代 DNA 檢測表明，這些骨骼中的男女比例並不平均。

是以，他們很可能是皇家僕人。

But whoever they were, the secrets that they have about this place, they took with them to the grave.

但不管他們是誰，他們關於這個地方的祕密，他們都帶進了墳墓。
