About me[edit]Well here it is... I figured I'd put something on my user page. I don't have the time to wiki but nevertheless here I am. I have more then enough to keep me busy but I seem to be addicted. I see Wikipedia one day being a central resource for human knowledge and it just seems cool to contribute. My wikipedian efforts focus on tax and economics articles, but I occasionally venture out to health, fiction, biographies, and literature.

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located on a mountain ridge in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, about 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. Often referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it was built around 1450, likely as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti, and was abandoned roughly a century later. Notable structures include the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Three Windows, and Intihuatana, a ritual stone. Machu Picchu was designated a historic sanctuary by Peru in 1981, and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983. It received more than 1.5 million visitors annually as of 2024, making it Peru's most visited tourist attraction. This photograph of Machu Picchu was taken in 1912 by Hiram Bingham III, the American explorer who rediscovered the citadel, and was published in the April 1913 edition of National Geographic. The image was taken after early clearing work, and shows the agricultural terraces, the central urban complex, and the steep peak of Huayna Picchu rising in the background.Photograph credit: Hiram Bingham III
