The shape of the mountain actually looks like a condor (not very obvious with the low resolution of my camera). |

9) The Fortress To Guard The Entrance
31/05/2000 11:55:36 AM
All cities were heavily guarded. To enter Pisac, the invaders must deal with the well deafened fortress (or they can fly up the cliff like a condor). |

One will always wonder why those people took so much trouble to built cities on top of the mountains (90% of the cities are on rugged terrain). Why not pick a flat valley? Guess defense was a major issues because it was a fitness for survival environment. And since flat land was scared, they usually leave it for farmland so they have enough food for lunch. |

13) The Temple Of The Sun
31/05/2000 12:28:52 PM
The temple of the sun always have a rock inside. People around the world seemed to have a fetish on rocks. The early civilization piled up a rock stack for worship. The Muslims have a sacred rock in Mecca (in the sacred tent). The ten commandments was written on a rock (or stone tablet). The mountain Rushmore... OK, maybe I am a bit off topic. |
