Prompt
Everyone thinks Machu Picchu is a lost city. It was never lost. In 1911, an American explorer named Hiram Bingham climbed into the Peruvian Andes looking for a different city entirely. He was searching for Vilcabamba, the last stronghold of the Inca resistance. He never found it. Instead, he stumbled upon Machu Picchu. Local families were already living there. It was never hidden from them. But Bingham told the world he discovered a lost city. National Geographic ran the story. The myth was born. Here is what they don't teach you. Machu Picchu was built around 1450 by Emperor Pachacuti.
