where did the name machu picchu come from
Machu Picchu In the Quechua language, machu means "old" or "old person", while picchu means "peak; mountain or prominence with a broad base that ends in sharp peaks",[8] hence the name of the site means "old peak".
Pachacuti In Quechua Pachakutiq means "he who overturns space and time" (though more commonly translated as "earth shaker"),[2] and Yupanki means "with honor". During his reign, Cusco grew from a hamlet into an empire that could compete with, and eventually overtake, the Chimú. He began an era of conquest that, within three generations, expanded the Inca dominion from the valley of Cusco to nearly the whole of western South America.
