Among The 7: Post 3: The Mountain Citadel

You may have heard about our past posts but, you wouldn’t have heard about Machu Picchu before. 

About 7000 feet above sea level, Sapa Inca Pachacuti, who was an Incan Emperor, is believed to have built the Citadel during the mid-1400s. It was built by men pushing rocks towards the peak without the use of wheels. Also the rocks were cut without a mortar. 

The Mountain Citadel was used to home the king and other important people of the Empire. Even their peasants stayed in the premises of the Citadel.

 

During the 1500s, the Spanish led by their general Pizzaro conquered the Incan empire by bringing it to an end but, Machu Picchu was never seen again by the human race again until the year 1911.


The residents took with them their most valuable belongings and destroyed Inca trails connecting Machu Picchu with the rest of the empire.


Machu Picchu is a protected area and a World Heritage Site since 1983. No one can live inside the citadel. However, during your visit, you will spot llamas. These animals don’t come from the surrounding place. But they were brought here because of the Citadel’s beauty. 


Your favorite part of our blogs is here. Opinions!!!


Machu Picchu has a fascinating history and is also very beautiful. It is worth spending money to just visit it. Especially for people who love potatoes (Peru has different types of potatoes).

School while also Acting

  As the majority of you guys requested, we are going to write on how child actors balance school and acting.

Unfortunately for child actors, there are only laws like the Coogan law in FOUR states in the country: California, New York, New Mexico, and Louisiana.

Minors in the entertainment industry may not work more than eight hours in a day [LC 1308.7 and 1392] or more than 48 hours in a week Most don't attend a real school once things take off; they do independent study on set with a tutor. If there are multiple kids in a cast, they may have a set teacher who looks after all of the kids. Sometimes in a dual role as tutor and chaperone. When they are not scheduled for work that day, they go to regular school or home school.  The regular school te...
