The ancient Incas were in awe of the power of the gods, and among the gods they worshipped, the sun had the highest status. They praised the sun with great veneration and considered themselves the "children of the sun." In order to get closer to the sacred sun, they built cities on top of the mountains, and the mysterious city in the sky, Machu Picchu, came into being.
