The Inca loved their tri-part deities, the Anaconda, Jaguar and Condor, also Water, Sun and Earth etc. There are many temples to Water and Sun as they provided what their crops needed to thrive, Condors because these birds carried their souls to heaven. Here is one Water Temple, simple and natural with three fountains. All around farmers make the most of the fertility. Brown Swiss and Holstein are the cattle they use.


469 - 467 show the Spanish Cathedral built over the Inca remains. 467 on the left is the hasty Spanish architecture in contrast to the well thought out and chiselled Inca wall built in granite. No Inca temple was ever destroyed in an earthquake, only by the Spanish.
