The mystery of the archaeological site Saywite
The geographic environment is recorded on stone tablets including mountains basins valleys plains and high-altitude lakes Some of these mythical creatures are symmetrically arranged seemingly pointing to four cardinal points These underground chambers which held special significance for timekeeping particularly the timing of certain natural phenomena were designed and constructed to symbolically represent the rise of water levels They are related to other monuments of Inca culture.
The arrangement of important events consisting of stone structures used as time-measuring mechanisms using light has been destroyed and some have been moved from their original positions The extent of the error is why high-precision instruments were required to attempt to locate them at specific geographic locations Their creator remains a mystery These sculptures represent symbolic models of the Inca world associated with water rituals and fertility.
