The mysterious phenomenon of shadows
from Pitusiray mountain
In Inca times, myth and reality were intrinsically linked, each integrating elements of each in order to perpetuate the memory of time and space. The mysterious shadows that are cast on a monumental rock face at the top of the Pitusiray mountain are one of the expressions: an agricultural clock indicating to Inca astronomers the return of the spring equinox and, with it, the return of the rainy season.
