The Great Incan Walls of Cusco.
This photo is to illustrate just how much thought went into the stone walls of the Incas.
In Incan symbology, the snake, the puma, and the condor represented the three worlds – the underworld, the middle world (earth), and the heavens.
When this stone wall was constructed, they interlocked the stones with the shapes of both the puma and the snake present.
The red outline you see is the puma, and the black outline is the snake.
It was on this street right across from the stone wall where I met a local artist and bought a really nice oil on canvas original painting. My uncle Rich framed it for me and I have it hanging in my room. I love it.
