Macchu Picchu - English

5/4/2023
The ruins of Macchu Picchu are located on the peaks of the Andes, about 800m above sea level, in the valley of the Urubamba river. The mythical citadel was built in the 15th century by the Incas, surrounded by steep rocky slopes. Abandoned soon after the arrival of the Spanish, in 1532, the city then remained hidden in the clouds until 1911, when Hiram Bingham rediscovered its ruins. The ancient and lost Inca civilization was highly evolved in the arts and in the construction of stone buildings and roads. The city of Macchu Picchu remains one of his most surprising achievements.

MACCHU PICCHU - I segreti dell' Impero Inca

5/4/2023
Le rovine di Macchu Picchu si trovano sulle vette delle Andi, a circa 800m di altitudine, nella valle del fiume Urubamba. La mitica cittadella fu costruita nel XV secolo dagli Inca, circondata da ripidi pendii rocciosi. Abbandonata subito dopo l'arrivo degli Spagnoli, nel 1532, la città rimase poi nascosta fra le nuvole fino al 1911, quando Hiram Bingham riscoprì le sue rovine. L'antica e perduta civiltà Inca era molto evoluta nelle arti e nella costruzione di edifici in pietra e di strade. La città di Macchu Picchu resta una delle sue realizzazioni più sorprendenti.

5/3/2023
Con la conquista dell'Egitto Tolemaico, nel 30 a.C. Roma diventò ancora più ricca e potente. L'occupazione romana portò in Egitto nuove tecniche agricoli e favorì lo sviluppo delle coltivazioni nelle regioni più aride del regno.

Hatscepsut, the lost Queen - English

5/3/2023
The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification of the body ensured the continuation of life after death. Thanks to modern scientific instruments, mummies are the first source of information on the life and diseases of this ancient people. Science in many cases can help to give an identity to unknown mummies: the investigation of the mummy of Hatscepsut, the female pharaoh who reigned in Egypt and built a colossal mortuary temple, is one of them.
