Bernard Weber founder of the New Open World Corporation (NOWC) said: “Machu Picchu is testimony to the incredible value and vision that the Incas of the engineering had. Despite the wait, I was impressed when I saw the first terraces (and platforms) and majestic houses next to this high, incredible and steep mountain (and I thought I had climbed the mountains of Switzerland!), I was dumb. The whole New7Wonders team was moved by the view. The good state and conservation of the houses, courtyards and, of course, the Intihuatana, show how sophisticated Inca society was, with its knowledge of astronomy, agriculture and engineering.
