Imagen
    This mysterious stone is actually an enigmatic monolith made by the Incas. It measures 2.5 meters high and 11 meters in circumference and has 200 figures carved in high and low relief representing urban structures, agricultural terraces, canals, animals, etc.     For some scholars, it is an original representation of the cosmic vision of the Inca civilization, which has left sculpted and perpetuated some conceptions of its worldview and its agricultural and hydraulic rites, or that it was an ancient oracle.     One of the most coherent theories suggests that this stone is a model of the Inca cosmic world, associated with water, the fertility of the land, and the cosmic forces linked to their own existence. It is known that the Andean world conceived of life as a whole; nothing was isolated, and their use of resources was based on gratitude and respect for their deities, especially Pachamama.     This unique monolith is located in the Saywite ...

Se sabe que el mundo andino concebía la vida como un todo, nada era aislado y el uso que hacían de sus recursos estaba basado en la  gratitud y respeto a sus divinidades.sobretodo a la Pa...

THE LABYRINTH OF THE INCAS

    Qenqo in Quechua means LABYRINTH . The reason why the Incas called this place a "labyrinth" is unknown, but it could be due to its mysterious caves and whimsical architectural details. What is certain, however, is that this was a temple dedicated to very special magical-religious ceremonies .         A few meters below this temple is what is perhaps the most mysterious and sacred part of the temple where cults to the mummies of the ancestors and some sacrifices were probably carried out; it is an enigmatic cavity that was carved in the form of a shrine where in the central part there is a kind of table or ceremonial altar carved in the living rock .         Among its most important sectors are: a curious amphitheater that apparently was not finished and for some reason was not completed, also at the top of the temple there is a strange zigzag channel that, according to historians, during sacrifices, the priests poured blood an...
