KIND OF CONSTRUCTIONS

Still walk up and you will arrive to a place where another kind of constructions starts, this kind is better than the lowers, here you will see a double jump door that was probable the main door to get into the sun temple that is on the top, you will see that on the stone blocks there are some protuberances, those were used to put the rock on that one that is at the base, those were left there as a defensive system, because when there is an earthquake the tension of the movement will look for a place where to get out, and those protuberances are for that function, after there is the remain of which was a sacred room, that have some niches along the right side, it had a door and at the left side there was a wall but now it is not there, just there is the foundation of this wall, notice something important in the wall that between the window’s column there is one that is higher than that one that is next to, it is a kind of defensive system to avoid be destroyed by an earthquake, after is the door that again is a defensive system because the rock blocks that are up and down are just one block while that one that is in the middle is composed by two pieces of rock, and when there is an earthquake the two block (up and down) will force that one that is in the middle and as it is two blocks this will not be broke.
