But what was its purpose?
In this video, we take a deep dive into the theories behind this fascinating artifact. Was it a hydraulic model used to simulate water flow for agriculture? A sacred ceremonial object? Or perhaps a 3D map of an Incan city or cosmos?
Despite being less known than Machu Picchu, the Sayhuite Monolith represents a perfect blend of Inca engineering, artistic genius, and spiritual symbolism. Some experts believe it was a teaching tool for Inca engineers, while others think it may have had religious significance. Modern researchers are now using 3D models to understand how water may have flowed through the carved channels.
