(ANDINA). Kultur is proud to announce the DVD release from the Sites of the World’s Culture Series: Machu Picchu and the Legacy of the Incas.
This one-hour documentary explores the mysteries of the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu. It will be available on DVD on April 26 at the retail price of $19.99.
Machu Picchu is one of the earth’s magical places. The ruined city seems to be the work of giants, full of mysteries, unwilling to reveal its secrets.
Nevertheless, more than any other place, it has become the symbol of the vanished culture of its architects, the Incas. They were at the height of their power when they were smitten by a hitherto unknown disease: the insatiable greed for gold which the Europeans introduced to America.
This has been responsible, right up to the present day, for the destruction of countless treasures created by the skillful Incan craftsmen, whose empire extended over three hundred thousand square miles. Despite this devastation, numerous buildings, statues and other finds still testify to the creative energy of the Incas and their ancestors.
