On June 21st of every year, the moon light will go through the small hole on the top of the temple and fall on the center of the altar. June 21st is the date when the moon is farthest away from the sun.

8) The Forever Young Fountain

There was a fountain that the Inca royal family used to do their bath. You might get forever youth after washing in the fountain (but if it were true then you wouldn't see the Inca mummies).

Sacsayhuman (sexy woman) was an important religion gathering place now and in the past. It's zig zag shape might be a representation of the lightening. It also formed the forehead of the puma of Cuzco.

10) The Famous Aymara Door
Preview Image
05/06/2000 4:37:42 PM

This door was built by some Aymara sub-contractors. They came from the Lake Titicaca area. They probably leant the skill from the Tiahuanaco people who were great builders but disappeared like the Mayans (maybe slaughtered by the Aymaras.)

11) The Echo Tower

There was a quartz buried under the center of the tower (it used to be a tower but the boulders were removed by the Spanish). It has high energy and if you stand at the very center of the tower and yell, you can hear the echo.

This is the entrance of the underground tunnel. It either collapsed or was sealed by the government.

14) Rock With Underground Tunnel
Preview Image
06/06/2000 5:01:12 PM

I first heard the story from our guide. Several students went inside the tunnel under this rock. Only one of them came out, and he came out from the Cathedral in Cuzco (used to be the Inca Palace). He also got a golden cup with him.
Other guides I met also mentioned about similar stories.
When I was inspecting the rock (it was close to sexy woman), I met a local woman. She speak to me in Spanish about the tunnels under the rock. I didn't understand a word. But I guess she said something about underground tunnels going from here to Pisac, Machu Picchu (highly unlikely, too far away), Cuzco etc . It collapsed or was sealed. Anyway I saw the entrance but couldn't go in to verify the story.

The Arabian found some oil in the jungles and they gave this to the Peruvians as a gift.
