= The Room with Three Windows =

The Room with the Three Windows is a small building found near the plaza in Machu Picchu. The aforementioned room is very mysterious with very little giving clues to its purpose. One thing that is known about the room besides its three windows is its relative importance. The building is located only 8 meters from the central plaza in Machu Picchu. This is important to know because according to folklore the city of Machu Picchu was built up to hide the Incas from Spanish conquistadors. The reason this building is so important is because of Hiram Bingham an archeologist from Yale University. Hiram misidentified the building as a sacred place for the Inca. Saying that it represents the origin of their civilization. This was because of an error in his coordinates. Because of this, The Room with the Three Windows is most likely just another building in Machu Picchu misinterpreted as a place of significance.
