Asignment 3

REFLECTION 3

Write an entry at least 250 words about the similarities and differences between Machu Picchu and Chichen
Itza
         Machu Picchu and Chicen Itza had similarities and differences. Both had the same similarities in title of ancient city or historical place. This is because both of the city had been exist for hundred years . Second, is city structure in a perfect position, we can see this from the Machu Picchu and Chicken Itza picture, the structure are in a very well position. Thirdly is, stone terraces architecture,it prevent erosion and provide level spaces for planting, making the most of difficult terrain a great empire. Next both of the city faces urban growth where there were born architect, archaeological, astronomy and such on, this was improved with the builds of stone in Machu Picchu and the appearance of calender in Chichen Itza. Not to forget both of the city had been abandoned, this is because the area of Machu Picchu And Chicken Itza don't have any human living there and the places are idle.
     The differences of the two city is the location, Chichen Itza is located in the center of the Yucatan Peninsula and is known for its unique pyramids. Machu Picchu was built in the highlands of the central Andes Mountains. Second, in Chichen Itza has a well, meanwhile Machu Picchu has a river. Third, Machu Picchu has their own culture and Chichen itza has been influence by the other tribe culture, that is Aztec and Itza tribe. Other than that, Chichen Itza has sports that is ballcourt and Machu Picchu don't have any. Not to forget the person who had lose in the ballcourt game will be sacrife in the Chichen Itza culture ceremony. And lastly Chicen Itza had astrological purpose existence, this is because they had develope 365 days calender.
     I like Machu Picchu more then Chichen Itza because of the it located with the nature. It had a magnificent scenery. The background based of mountains and forest.Machu Picchu also provides a secure habitat for several endangered species, notably the spectacled bear, one of the most interesting species in the area. Machu Picchu city site is make thousand of stone and had been placed with perfect position.Each was carved and placed with human labour and primitive tools.Then i was amazed with the stone structure in Machu Picchu, it was an unique architecture i had ever seen made in a nature.
