Is it true that Machu Picchu was built by the Inca in the mid-1400s?

Yes. A reference article on Machu Picchu states it is a 15th-century Inca citadel and that radiocarbon dating places its main construction and use in the early to mid 15th century. Several other sources confirm the Inca built the site but do not give the mid-1400s date.
