The simple fact is that the lncas are very advanced in some ways and not in others. 印加有先进一面，也有落后一面
They didn't have the wheel, didn't have great forms of transport, 他们没有轮，没有方便的运输工具
great carriages, therefore didn't need to bring things inside the city. 没有车，所以不必运送东西进城

It's really quite astonishing. 怎想得到？
Machu Picchu has about 200 buildings, 马丘比丘总共约有二百座建筑物
was home to around a thousand people. 约有一千人居住
It's laid out with streets built on terraces cut into the mountainside. 街道建在山边台阶上
