stone structure continued

Here is more carvings on the pink granite.




Here is the inca three levels (heaven, earth and underworld).

The guide showed us that the quary for the pink granite was at that mountain peak across the valley.

The stone would someone be taken from the quarry, brought down to the valley, then the incas would damn part of the river with and island in the middle. They would damn one side of the island so that the water would flow on the opposite side. Then they would move the boulders onto the island, un-damn the river and then damn the opposite side of the river and then bring the boulders across and up to the temple. This is all impressive and pretty unbelievable.
