#18 mldlab / Lisa Marchesi “Planet is a word that comes from the Greek and means wandering star.” Margherita Hack
What: The light of sunset that filters through the clouds and envelops the archaelogical site after a rainy day. Where: The 15th-century Inca citadel Machu Picchu, located in Perù and one of the new seven wonders of the world. The exact spot to sit: near the Temple of the Sun, waiting for a rainbow. How: Visit without technological tools. Take only a compass, a good book and a travel notebook to write thoughts and make sketches. When: During the winter solstice, when a flickering light gradually illuminates the city at dawn, making it even more majestic. Then wait until sunset comes, followed by night and the stars. Why: Because archaeology is our history and our culture and admiring it during the rising and the sinking of the sun connects us to our past.
