Chapter 3 : Lost World

UFS111 3rd Reflection

Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza are historical cities that exist decade ago . The similarities between these two historical places are first , the design of the building . Both building was build million years ago by ancient people . Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style with polished dry stone wall . The development of Chichen Itza for that time is influence by many cultures .
Chichen Itza
Second , Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza has ambitious ruler . Both ruler are very ambitious because they force their people to build the cities even it is actually hard to be done . Third , both are abandon building . The building was made by the ancient people but it was leave for along time and there was no one lives there . Fourth , both of this lost world were historical building that attract many tourist from all over the world . Last but not least , both buildings are human made . None of these two building was made by help of buldozer or anything . It was built by hands . Instead of similarities , there are differences too . First , the location . Machu Picchu was built on top of the mountain which is high land at Peru meanwhile Chichen Itza was built on low land which is at Mexico . Second , water supply . Machu Picchu have water channel that supply them water . Whereas Chichen Itza do not have one , it only have one big well . Third , Chichen Itza have a ball court for sports while Machu Picchu only have field farming and keep animals . Fourth , Machu Picchu have many culture in it while chichen Itza was influenced by others . Last but not least , Machu Picchu was developed based on European calender while Chichen Itza was developed based on Miladiah calender . Between of these two historical places , I choose to go and visit Machu Picchu . This is because , the structural of the lost cities attract me . I was fascinated the way the ancient people build up their kingdom . Other than that , the sorrounding makes me calm and feel so relaxing because it was on top of the mountain .
