Offices for Aztecs! built at Ingapirca near Cuenca in Ecuador. Reassembled by park workers. Aztecs built walls which supported pitched roofs.



Excellent stonecutting!!



Moderate stonecutting.










This wall was rebuilt about 30 years ago by park resturation people. Note the careful work of current government workers or private contractors who can use all the modern tools, equipment and techniques.

This is a wall put together by ancient Aztecs who could neither read or write. Well, they could read, but with no one doing any writing, there was no point.




The Aztecs never figured out the keystone arch principal.







Just over my left shoulder is the most significant Aztec ruins in Ecuador: Ingapirca (pronounced
"Aztec ruins near Cuenca." All the foregoing photos are of this place, but I couldn't get the "click and drag" tool to work.

Sorry, only a small error of John, the Aztecs were in Mexico, this is the Incas, Ecuador is a small part of the "Inca Trail", passes through Ingapirca, Cuzco, Bolivia, Chile and ends in the Argentine pampas and mountains
