In Peruvian city Cuzco you can find the ancient Fortress Saksayuaman. This place is also covered with mysteries. Today this old bulging is called a ”ceremonial place”. Several facts say that this fortress wasn't built for defense purpose. Massive stones were majorly used as built materials of this complex. On the stones we can see the graves of the treatment. Taking into account the fact that the fortress was built at the time of Inks, it is hard to imagine how the massive stones were treated and even more – transported.

The fortress is an intricate complex of buildings. It has a great number of inner obstructions of different forms and sizes. The historians suppose that originally this complex was built as a ceremonial place and was devoted to the heliolatry. The building is oriented in the cordial directions.

The marks of the fighting have left forever in the walls.

Also, the researchers knew that in the 17th century the locals transform the fortress into a stone mine. A lot of houses in Cuzco were built from the parts of the ancient complex. As it was partly destroyed, the researchers have found only 200 blocks. Some of the weight around a ton. Thanks to that the stones were placed so close to each other, the thousand-year old complex is practically the same. Cuzco is a place where earthquakes happen regularly.
