Happy #footpathFriday! This one's special, it's another photo taken in Machu Picchu, on the ancient Inca steps leading up to Huayna Picchu! Watching my friend hike these centuries-old stairs really puts things in perspective. It's a time machine carved in stone!

Stepping into Machu Picchu hits different when you're right there in the terraces, not just viewing it from the classic postcard spot. From this angle, you really feel the depth of Inca engineering. In the background, Huayna Picchu is standing like a guardian.

Ancient Inca engineering at its finest: the agricultural terraces of Huchuy Qosqo (Kakya Qawani), like a giant stone staircase in the mountain. Each level required precise stonework. While terracing is common in the Sacred Valley, their scales and precisions remind us of the immense effort required to build them.

This is the Foro di Pompei at the Pompeii Archaeological Park (Parco Archeologico di Pompei). You can see the Centauro di Igor Mitoraj in the distance. The foro was ancient Pompeii's main piazza. I took this in 2022 while I was in Italy.

Where would I like to spend my birthday? This sounds fun!

“On the Map, Nothing. On the Ground, a Hidden Maya City. In a biological preserve in Mexico’s Campeche State, a team of archaeologists has documented pyramids, palaces, a ball court and other remains of an ancient city they call Ocomtún.”
