According to the video about Machu Picchu, the purpose of the site is still unknown. Archaeologists theorize that it could have been which of these three things?

a ceremonial site
the capital city of the Inca empire
a military stronghold
a retreat for nobility


According to the video about Machu Picchu, the purpose of the site is still unknown. Why is this?

The Inca had no written language and thus left no records explaining the purpose of the site.

All writings about the site were destroyed by the Spanish when they colonized the area.

Enemy soldiers from another indigenous civilization destroyed all records of the Inca.

Archaeologists suspect that there are written records that haven't been found yet, which would explain the site's purpose.
