Machu Picchu Pictures Part 2

Water mirrors were found on the floor of one building.  When you stand next to one
you can see the sun's reflection.  The Inca's could use these to follow the sun, view an eclipse.
An example of a window in one of the buildings that looked out to the
east agriculture sector.

The door way leading to a "house"

The Temple of the Sun"   The windows were positioned exactly in line
with the sunlight coming directly in on the day of Summer Solstice
and Winter Solstice

Inka's House...the ruler of the Inca Tribe 

The Group of Three Doorways
The little blueish dot right of the lake is the house of the farmers who told Bingham about the ruins on the mountain
