The imperial city Cuzco, whose original name was "Qosqo" meaning ‘navel of the earth,’ was laid out in the form of a puma, the animal that symbolized the Inca dynasty. The belly of the puma was the main plaza, the river Tullumayo formed its spine, and the hill of Sacsayhuaman its head. |
It symbolized the eternal consecration of marriage between the Sun and his sons, the human beings. |
There are no other walls like these. They are different from Stonehenge, |
