To begin with, Maucallacta is translated as an ancient settlement of the "first" people, so there are few such objects only in Peru, and in the world it is even more accepted to call it that way.
This particular object, which I will talk about, is located 45 kilometers from Cusco, and like many other complexes, it was built on a hill, at an altitude of about 3,400 meters above sea level.
It is about Maukallakt that even many travelers do not know, not to mention detailed studies that, apparently, are not needed by anyone. It is difficult to say in what state the complex is now, but a few years ago it was actively restored, since for unknown reasons, it was destroyed, and quite badly.
I am focusing on this for a reason, because many structures, especially in South America, seemed to fly apart from some explosive force at one moment, but when exactly this happened, of course, it is impossible to answer.
So, with regard to the "city" or complex itself. As elsewhere in Peru, it is a mixture of different technologies and different levels of development. Again from primitive rough brickwork, to already polygonal and megalithic with perfect block fit.

Some of the elements in the megalithic masonry, I was especially reminded of Ollantaytambo, especially the various passages, or as they are called "gates". The picture left above.
It was in this “city” that the water supply system was also worked out in the past, but now it does not function. And I can assume that this is precisely because of the unknown destruction that occurred in the past.
And now some interesting facts. Recently, this is the third, if I am not mistaken, the object that I wrote about and which are located in Peru, and they were built at a decent height above the lowlands.
The same applies to other objects, the same Machu Picchu, because it was also built at a height, but why? In general, if you do not delay, then I am leading this to a possible increased water level in the past.
Machu Picchu.
It is unlikely that we will find out with accuracy, but perhaps South America was partially flooded in the past, or it was flooded at one moment, it is already difficult to answer.
This implies the following fact, namely, the raising of huge volumes of material by almost half a kilometer in height, and all this supposedly without technology and special means of transportation, whether by air or land.
Well, to summarize, then Maucallacta, in general, is similar to some other objects of Peru, only the “city” has not been explored by anyone, and after restoration work, the appearance of the ancient complex and the finds can already be “cleaned up” and transformed, however, as always …
In any case, polygonal and megalithic masonry is not everywhere; here you can see it, albeit not on a huge scale, as, for example, in Sacsayhuaman or Ollantaytambo.
The most interesting and well-known information (and there is not much of it), I told and I hope, opened something new for many. Although given that little is known about the “city”, I'm sure many have never heard of it.
