Machu Picchu, the ruins of an Incan city in the Andes Mountains of Peru. An ancient, sacred fortress high in the mountains. Many stone steps and walls, each carefully set very tightly together. Great shots of Machu Picchu along fog shrouded peaks. Cut to the pyramids of Egypt, and many hieroglyphs carved and painted along the walls. These include pharaohs, gods, and daily life and activities, chronicling everything. Stone carving of face. A palm tree at sunset.
