The Mysterious Monolith of Sayhuite
Sayhuite or otherwise written, Saywite is an archaeological site in the Abancay Province, in the Apurímac Region of Peru. The archaeological site of Sayhuite is 47 km (29.20 mi) east of Abancay.
In fact, the only noticeable thing to anyone visiting Sayhuite is the monolith. A large potato-shaped carved rock. This rock has more than 200 geometric and zoomorphic figures on it. Looking closely at the rock one will notice shapes that look like stairs in Inca cities, tracks, roads even... One might believe it is a three-dimensional map... Specialists tell us that the area was a religious center of the Incas. Most probably they held rituals for the worship of water.
