Machu Picchu (Peru) and Babylon (Iraq)

- Machu Picchu (Peru) 
 
The ruins of the most famous of all Inca ruins. Machu Picchu seem to be in between two mountain peaks and is often shrouded in fog. The ruins are not visible from the Urubamba Valley below, this place was built by the Incas without at all using the wheel.
Machu Picchu was built around the 15th century, but this place was not recorded by the Spanish Conquistador, who turned out to destroy the place in 1530. This place is also still unknown development goals, even though many signs that the place has many centers of worship.
Until now the various archeologists continue to search for evidence of the purpose built venue, because the Incas did not leave a writing system, then there is no written reports about the place.
- Babylon (Iraq) 
 
The ruins are located about 90 km from the city of Baghdad, the original name of this city is "Bab-ili" which means "gate of the gods". The city is widely known at the time of the classical era, as a beautiful city with the "Hanging Gardens" which includes one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The city was established as a center of government and culture, and glorious for about 15 centuries, since the arrival of the tribe Amor (about 1850 BC) until Alexander the Great, who died there in 322 BC. Hammurabi (1892-1750 BC), one of the greatest rulers in Iraq also makes this city as the seat of government.
