Decipherment of SaksayWaman Cusco Peru as Inca Astronomy - Image 14 of 14 - the head of Mach'acuay, the dark constellation of the serpent, though it is not clear to us from the stones which end was seen as the head and which the tail.

Our decipherment of Saksaywaman, Cuzco, Peru, relies upon a fantastic panorama photograph of SaksayWaman by Martin St-Amant :"Sacsayhuamán Décembre 2006 - Vue Panoramique - Pleine résolution" by Martin St-Amant (S23678) - Own work.

That panorama photograph is so large (20000 pixels wide) that we have broken it down into sections in order to present our decipherment of those sections.
