Well, I don't know that much, but i know that the lost city is called Machu Picchu, and it was an indian city, a place that the Mexicans were trying to find. They never discovered it, so they decided to drop the search. Some people say that Indians hid their gold there from the white men.

Aha!\n\nPerhaps it would be best to clue you into a direct exploration currently in progress:\n\nIn short, this is directly copied from the BBC :)  The exploration continues, and more evidance is being found, so good reading:\n\nAmerican researchers claim to have found convincing evidence that locates the site of the lost kingdom of Atlantis off the coast of Cyprus. \nThe team spent six days scanning the Mediterranean sea bed between Cyprus and Syria using sonar technology. \n\nThey believe they found evidence of massive, manmade structures beneath the ocean floor, including two straight, 2-km (1.25 mile) long walls on a hill. \n\nThey say their discoveries match accounts of the city written by Plato. \n\n\n'Greatest coincidence' \n\nTeam leader Robert Sarmast said the walls appear to be sited on a flat-topped hill where the temples of Atlantis once stood. \n\n \nMyth or reality? It is said to be a place of beauty and wealth \nHe intends to use the sonar data to make a three-dimensional computer image of the site, 1.5km below sea level, before returning for further research. \n\n\n"The hill, as a whole, basically looks like a walled, hillside territory and this hillside territory matches Plato's description of the Acropolis hill with perfect precision," he said. \n\n"Even the dimensions are exactly perfect, so if all these things are coincidental, I mean, we have the world's greatest coincidence going on." \n\nHowever, Mr Sarmast and his team are not alone in believing they have found the lost city of Atlantis. \n\n \nSonar technology was used to survey the sea bed off Cyprus \nOther researchers have placed it off the coast of Spain, Cuba and the south west of England, as well as under the South China Sea. \n\nThe story of Atlantis, a fabled utopia destroyed in ancient times, has captured the imagination of scholars ever since it was first described by the philosopher Plato. \n\nWriting more than 2,000 years ago, he depicted a land of fabulous wealth, advanced civilisation and natural beauty.

no one really knows. there are a lot of theories though. it could be a sort of calandar or a place where they had rituals. unless someone finds a script in which it's use is mentioned or someone invents a timemachine, no one can be sure.

from my memory, NOT an internet seach, copy and paste:\n\nWhen Francisco Pizzaro , his brother, and a small army of Spanish Conquistadores arrived in Peru in the year 1530?, they were at the right place at the right time.\nPizarro had learned a military tactic from the conquerer of Mexico, Hernando Cortez, and that was:  Find out who the enemy of your enemy is... and make an alliance with HIM.\nAt the time of Pizzaro's arrival, in the mid 1500's, he had already traveled south through Panama and down through Ecuador.  Here he learned that the Incan Empire was at this time divided between Atahualpa (in Central Peru) and his half-brother in Ecuador.  The empire was already on the verge of Civil War.\nPLUS these facts: \n 1.The Spanish had the advantage of steel weapons over stone weapons at this time.\n2. They had cannon to resist bows and arrows.\n3.  The terrorizing effect of horses, and large mastiff dogs...against footsoldiers who had never seen such beasts before.\n4. The lack of unity among the indians. They were just farmers, ruled by their "god" on earth (The 'Inca').  hardly ever travelling beyond their villages.\n5. The prophecies in Indian mythology about "the arrival of white gods one day".\nNOW WE FAST FORWARD to the reason Atahualpa did not order his "troops" to attack.\nPizzaro appeared friendly at first.  And remember, he could be allied with the northern empire.  Then, he secretly lured Atahualpa to a little village with a wall around it called CAJAMARCA.  Here, he could easily defend the walled village with his small force of Spaniards, horses, guns, cannon.  He kidnapped and imprisoned Atahualpa and demanded a ransom of a room full of gold, and another room full of silver.  Why now, would Atahualpa order an attack?  Atahualpa knew that filling a room full ofgold and silver WAS possible, so just pay the guy and he will leave,right?\nIndians came from miles and miles around, all bearing gold and silver.  The rooms were filled as promised.\nAnd then...?  You guessed it. Pizzaro ordered Atahualpa garroted (strangled) on August 29.  (my birthday).\nFor miles and miles around the word spread that Atahualpa was dead.  And thousands of Indians, who were STILL BRINGING GOLD, hid their undelivered gold in a secret place that has never been found.\nThe story continues, but this is enough to answer your question, my friend.

There is very little cultural information about the Indus valley Civ. There is some evidence left that they traded with the Sumerians, etc. but there is really no documentation left from their civ, so the general consensus is that they communicated in a clay/cuneiform fashion.

I need to know what is the story to answer that question .

Tiwanaku (old spellings: Tiahuanaco and Tiahuanacu) is an important Pre-Columbian archaeological site in Bolivia. Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important precursors to the Inca Empire, flourishing as the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years. The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca, about 72 km (44 miles) west of La Paz, Bolivia.\n\nSome have hypothesized that Tiwanaku's modern name is related to the Aymara term "taypikala", meaning "stone in the center". However, the name by which Tiwanaku was known to its inhabitants has been lost, as the people of Tiwanaku had no written language

WEB SITES RELATED TO THE AZTECS, THE INCAS AND THE MAYA\n\nA comprehensive site with lots of links for you to explore.  I have picked a couple of links as an example of what you can expect.\n\nhttp://www.cumbavac.org/Aztecs_Incas_Maya.htm\n\nhttp://www.ancientmexico.com/content/conquest/index.html\n\nThe Aztecs/Mexicas were the native American people who dominated northern México at the time of the Spanish conquest led by Hernan CORTES in the early 16th century. According to their own legends, they originated from a place called Aztlan, somewhere in north or northwest Mexico. At that time the Aztecs (who referred to themselves as the Mexica or Tenochca) were a small, nomadic, Nahuatl-speaking aggregation of tribal peoples living on the margins of civilized Mesoamerica.

Google with a properly formed query will find most of the information that is out there. Also try wikipedia for information on places which generally includes their history. \n\nWhat place do you wish to find information on and what sort of information do you require?

Cuzco... that in *Quechua* (the Inca's language) means 'ombligo del mundo' (center of the world).\nOh, and Cuzco was the capital of the Inca Empire.\nIt was the center of the Inca world.

That was on Discovery Channel the other day.  They were not permitted to reveal the specific location, but I think they said it was in Arizona.
