Towering stone walls and breathtaking views Sacsayhuamán is one of the most impressive Inca sites in Cusco. Its massive stones fit together so perfectly that not even a blade of grass fits between them. A true marvel of ancient engineering.

It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday!
For #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth I'm introducing Native American deities
Inti is the Incan sun god and the national patron of the #Inca Empire. The Inca ruler was considered to be the living representative of Inti. Worship of Inti was centralised in the capital, #Cusco, where there stood a sun temple called Intikancha. Today the Convent of Santo Domingo stands on its ruins.

Waqrapukara is 4300 meters (14,107 ft) above sea level, built by the Canchis people ~1400BCE) and later conquered by the Incas. The name is possibly from Quechua "waqra" ~ "horn," pukara fortress,"strength of the horn fortress". #HillfortsWednesday Creative Commons photo by Pablo Rimachi.

Happy Pachamama Day!
One #Pachamama ritual happened every August (late winter in the southern hemisphere) when the Inca Emperor would gather his best buddies together and go to a sacred field near #Cusco.
The rituals were called #PacahamamaRaymi, the Festival of Mother Nature.
