Inca walls

Inca walls
The extraordinary mediaeval Inca walls in Cuzco, which the Spanish were delighted to find. Often they reused them to build official Spanish buildings. Some, like this, are intact!

Great buildings from this bygone era. The Incas were probably really great builders...

My husband and son went to see Peru a few years ago and showed me photos of this amazing wall. It's just phenomenal how the Incas managed to build and to embed the stones into each other. Thanks for sharing, Diana.

There are rumours by the writer Erich von Daeniken (a landsman of mine) that this walls are built by extraterrestrians. :-)
You didn't run into them by chance? ;-)

Hi Diana

A very nice picture, which shows amazing craftsmanship.. Or maybe some other forces we don't understand!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
