Although Machu Picchu was built of quarried rock and Mesa Verde of adobe bricks, both were amazing architectural feats for their time, established in remote areas. It is also likely that neither was a normal urban environment, but rather a place of ceremony and (perhaps) refuge. Also, we do not really know why they were both abandoned
Machu Picchu and Mesa Verde are both significant archaeological sites, but they differ in cultural context and geographical location. Machu Picchu, located in Peru, is a 15th-century Incan citadel known for its sophisticated dry-stone construction and terraced agriculture, reflecting the Inca Empire's engineering prowess. In contrast, Mesa Verde, situated in Colorado, USA, features ancient Puebloan cliff dwellings and is renowned for its unique architecture and the insights it offers into pre-Columbian Native American life. While both sites showcase remarkable human adaptation to their environments, they represent distinct historical cultures and architectural styles.
