Macha Picchu--Photos #2


            All these stones were carried here from quarry 2 miles away.  No animals used, just the inca men.

                                                      Photo showing the terraces

           You will have to picture in your mind that these use to covered with thatched roofs.




                                                      this use to be the temple

                             Knobs sticking our of stones is how the thatched roofs were attached.
                                    Reconstructed roof to show what they looked like back then.

       Now you know why it took over 90 years to build all of this complex.  All done by hand.
