It was built by space aliens and it's more than two billion years old.
It's also edible.
It's near Cuzco, Peru, it means "old peak" in Quechua. It's one of the main tourist attractions in Peru and even the world. It was supposedly built by the Incas, perhaps as residence for the emperor, or as a refuge after the invasion by the Spaniards, but it is debated why it was built, and there are many explanations. The stones are very large and heavy, and it is not known how they were brought up the steep mountain. They fit together almost perfectly and nothing was used by the builders to keep them together.
It is believed to have been built by the Inca (or leader, ruler, emperor) Pachacuti, as a personal palace.
Even though the locals knew about it, it was "officially" discovered (as were the Americas) in 1911 by an American.
