马丘比丘被称作印加帝国的“失落之城”。20世纪初,传说在秘鲁安第斯山脉的崇山峻岭中有座神秘古城。西班牙人在长达300多年的殖民统治期间对它一无所知,秘鲁独立后100年里也无人涉足。在400年的时光中,只有翱翔的山鹰目睹过古城的雄姿。

印加神庙

马丘比丘有着众多的神庙,其中的太阳神庙不仅是印加人祈祭太阳的场所,还是一座天文观测站。里面最主要的神庙包括:主神庙、三窗庙和圣器收藏室。主神庙是一座三面围墙一面开放的建筑,东西两侧的石墙皆以巨石为底,并以打磨精细的石块垒砌而成,庙中还有一座巨石砌成的祭坛。三窗庙位于主神庙旁,因有三扇巨石叠成的大窗而得名。庙中立有一根石柱,石柱旁边有一块代表天地宇宙的阶梯石刻,是印加神庙的重要标志。

Stake of the“Sky Garden”危在旦夕的“空中花园”

Machu Picchu is built on the cliffs above the ancient city, known as “sky garden”.

Ancient ruins of Machu Picchu is Peru’s most spectacular tourist destination, the discovery of Machu Picchu changed the fate of Peru’s tourism industry and thousands of visitors come each year to see the castle style.

A large number of tourists flocked to directly endanger the environment of Machu Picchu. Those carrying tourists down the mountain on a large number of small bus exhaust emissions, has seriously affected the ancient ruins of the environment. At the same time, booming tourism industry also brought the continuous expansion of the surrounding towns, the protection of ancient sites causing serious problems.

Machu Picchu is facing the danger of landslides, which could be destroyed. Near Machu Picchu last year, the town called “hot water landslides with more than a dozen people killed. The ancient ruins of Machu Picchu growing cracks under the surface also makes people have to be more worried about its safety.

The United Nations cultural management has made it clear that as soon as possible if the Peruvian government does not take protective measures for Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu will be included in the list of endangered sites.

Later, the Peruvian government recently proposed a 70 million pounds emergency rescue plan to protect Machu Picchu and the nearby national park.

In 1981, Machu Picchu around 32,592 hectares of land is listed as Peru’s “Historic Preservation District”. This area includes not only the ruins themselves, but also the nearby landscape and flora and fauna, especially the local production of orchids. Here is the most beautiful “base” in the entire territory of the Inca Empire.

马丘比丘古城建立在悬崖峭壁之上,又被称为“空中花园”。

马丘比丘古城遗址是秘鲁最为壮观的旅游胜地,马丘比丘的发现改变了秘鲁旅游业的命运,成千上万的旅客蜂拥而至,一睹城堡的风采。

众多的游客们蜂拥而至,直接危及马丘比丘的环保。那些载着游客上下山的小型公共汽车排放大量尾气,严重影响了古城遗址的环境。同时,旅游业的兴旺带来周边城镇的不断扩张,也对古城遗址保护造成了严重困扰。

马丘比丘还面临着山体滑坡的危险,随时有可能毁于一旦。去年马丘比丘附近名叫“热水”的小镇发生山体滑坡,共有十几人遇难。而马丘比丘古城遗址地表下不断增多的裂痕也使得人们不得不更加担心它的安危。

联合国文化管理部门曾经明确表示,如果秘鲁政府不尽快对马丘比丘采取保护措施,马丘比丘将被纳入濒危遗址名单中。

后来,秘鲁政府近日提出了耗资7,000万英镑的紧急拯救计划,保护马丘比丘和附近的国家公园。

1981年,马丘比丘周围的32,592公顷土地被列为秘鲁的“历史保护区”。这个地区不仅包括遗迹本身,还包括附近的地貌和动植物群,尤其是当地生产的兰花。这里是整个印加帝国境内最美丽的一处“据点”。
