The society in Machu Picchu probably died from?
There are varied theories about the fate of Machu Picchu, but no definitive answer. It was once held that it was the final battleground between the Inca and the Spanish, but this has since been disproven. Another theory was that it was a temple for the Virgins of the Sea and the virgins who attended the temple simply died out. Again, disproven, since archeological digs have uncovered the skeletons of men as well as women there and this would not have been the case at a temple of this type. It's more likely Macchu Picchu was a royal retreat than a temple. Some Cosmologists believe the superior technology and abilities of the Inca attest to alien visitation and that Macchu Picchu was built by them. Once they had completed their tasks there, they simply went back to where they came from.
