Temple of the Condor - approximately 1 hour after sunrise Head (on the ground) not lining up with the sun. |

rock pointing almost due north & at Machu Picchu mountain |
So many people seem to believe that Machu Picchu may not be a fully completed city because there are a bunch of large seemingly unshaped rocks scattered throughout the ruins. Upon further investigation we found a few interesting connections. For one we found a few stones that looked almost like arrows. When we checked one it was not only pointing at Machu Picchu mountain, but is was almost perfectly due north. This wasn't the only stone on the site that fit this description. There were also a collection of oddly shaped rocks scattered throughout the ruins. When you looked at some of these from the right direction they appeared to line up with the mountain ranges that were in the background. There was even a rock that appeared to line up with two different mountain ranges from different directions. I was quite proud of myself for noticing that one. Here are a few examples below. Hopefully my pictures did it justice.
Machu Picchu was not only interesting in an academic way. We had a great time just looking at the breath taking ruins and mountain ranges. Here are just some of my favorite pictures from the day:
