Mt. Sinai is not a mountain???

[El Caballerion]

I'm sure this has been addressed before...

I built a city two tiles away from Mt. Sinai, researched Guilds, and couldn't build Machu Pichu. Anyone else have this issue? Does Sinai simply not count?

You can't build any world wonders using a natural wonder as a mountain, they only work for building observatories.

The craziness goes further: If you have a natural wonder and a regular mountain in range you obviously can build these wonders as there's the regular mountain. Their graphic though may still end up showing on top of the natural wonder.

Yes. That is what confused me greatly. This happened with me when I had two mountains in range and Machu was built on Mt. Kailash.

Why would you want to defile the Holy Mountain of Sinai with the ruins of the pagan Inca?

It's what the god of El Caballerionism would want.

Huh... could be built in Lake Victoria, theoretically...

That'd be very wet. I've actually built Machu Picchu on the Grand Mesa.
...and that little bit of information added so much to the discussion.

Most of my playthroughs Pyramids, Oracles and Stonehedges end up in ocean. I don't even start on water colosseums

 

[Browd]

Not water colosseums; they're water parks, with long slippy slides and all.

I got the Red Fort in the water once. It was pretty badly flooded.

Does Lake Victoria + Machu Pichu = Tenochtitlan?

in Fall patch, LV is a freshwater lake and not a mountain anymore (doesn't block sight, gives +1 food with Civil Service)

 

[Browd]

But it is still an impassable tile and qualifies as a mountain for observatory purposes.
