“Quarries

The main quarries of Ollantaytambo were located at Kachiqhata, in a ravine across the Urubamba River some 5 km from the town. The site features three main quarrying areas: Mullup'urku, Kantirayoq, and Sirkusirkuyoq; all of them provided blocks of rose rhyolite for the elaborate buildings of the Temple Hill. An elaborate network of roads, ramps, and slides connected them with the main building areas. In the quarries are several chullpas, small stone towers used as burial sites in pre-Hispanic times.

Defenses

As Ollantaytambo is surrounded by mountains, and the main access routes run along the Urubamba Valley; there, the Incas built roads connecting the site with Machu Picchu to the west and Pisaq to the east. During the Spanish conquest of Peru, emperor Manco Inca fortified the eastern approaches to fend off Spanish attacks from Cusco during the Battle of Ollantaytambo. The first line of defense was a steep bank of terraces at Pachar, near the confluence of the Anta and Urubamba Rivers. Behind it, the Incas channeled the Urubamba to make it cross the valley from right to left and back, thus forming two more lines, which were backed by the fortifications of Choqana on the left bank and 'Inkapintay on the right bank. Past them, at the plain of Mascabamba, 11 high terraces closed the valley between the mountains and a deep canyon formed by the Urubamba. The only way to continue was through the gate of T'iyupunku, a thick defensive wall with two narrow doorways. To the west of Ollantaytambo, the small fort of Choquequillca defended the road to Machu Picchu. In the event of these fortifications being overrun, the Temple Hill itself with its high terraces provided a last line of defense against invaders.”

>> The comments:

1 – The fountain design: The fountain design is a typical one for the Inca civilization with its geometrical shape. But if you look closely, it’s also similar to the shape of a door or a gateway. Also on each lower side, there is one damaged protuberance. These might be plain or they might be carved/ shaped as heads of animal heads. If it looks like animal heads, we can assume these animals are protectors or guardians and since the design of the fountain is shaped like a doorway, then should we assume these animal guardians are protecting a gateway? Just some thoughts there.

2 – The “Giant” near the granary: While I was taking a look at Viracocha, there was a metion of the140-metre-high figure of Wiracochan (page 509) on the side of a mountain cliff/slope. It’s amazing, and very eye catching how this “Giant” is not mentioned at all in this wikipedia page about Ollantaytambo. It’s not even listed among the ruins/ monuments, not even as a geological, natural occurrence. Just imagine a guide standing in the open field with his group of tourists and point from a distance to the granary next to the “Giant” and explaining to his group of eager listeners how the Incas used the granary and how they stored the grains….but then….not mention the “Giant”…. At some point, someone from the group would notice it and dares to ask the question to the guide: what is that shape next to the granary? And the guide will go: “oh, it’s just an optical illusion from a rock, nothing to see here, let’s move on.

This is the situation that we’ve got on our hands in this wikipedia page about Ollantaytambo. The elephant in the room, literrally a Giant, is right in front of everyone’s eyes, next to the granaries, in full display, but, not a word about it. Crickets. It’s just an optical illusion exactly like the Helicopter Hieroglyph of Abydos in Ancient Egypt (starting page 94). Why no metion of it? = in order not to attract curiosity and attention to it and in order to avoid answering embarrassing questions, mostly about stuff that is denied in main stream history like the possible existence of giants. It will open something similar to Pandora’s box, mostly that some researchers already suspect that the megaliths in this Ottantaytambo site pre-date the Incas. It’s obvious (((they))) don’t want us to put two and two together.
