Climate Change Spurs Revival of Ancient Incan Agriculture
For our Geo Quiz we’re interested in the Peruvian highlands. The city we’d like you to name is located there. It once served as the capital of the Incan empire. That all changed with the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors.
For today’s Geo Quiz, we’re headed to the lost city of the Incas. Now, we’re not asking you to name that ancient city in Peru. That’d be too easy. It’s Machu Picchu. What we want to know is who discovered Machu Picchu.
