Saqsayhuaman (Sexy Woman)

This is a site where the Inca ruins called Saqsaywaman are located, just above the city of Cusco. The site was built using stones brought from mountains many kilometers away, and he rocks are estimated weighing as much as 1000 kilos. One of the doorways constructed. The stones were all cut preisely and fit together without any cement. They have withstood thousand of years, big earthquakes, and al kinds of weather.
See how the stones fit pefectly together? Amazing.

View to the valley and beyond that, the mountains where these rocks came from!

Just to show you how big they really are...
Some believe this looks like the lost ciy of Atlantis. This place was used for worship, experts believe.
