If you go to Cusco, then literally 30 kilometers away you can see a truly unique monument of ancient construction - the Tipon complex.
This complex is in fact a complex mathematically precise engineering facility, which consists of many terraces built from polygonal blocks, and the whole complex is literally penetrated by the still functioning water supply and irrigation system.
Moreover, this complex seems to hang over the valley at an altitude of 300 meters above it. And the height of the object above sea level is 3400 meters, which automatically places such an object in the category of alpine ones.
According to the official version, the complex is placed in the category of religious objects (who would doubt it). To this day, some people perform the rite of worship. According to various sources, the ancient name of the complex: Muyna or Moyna.
A distinctive feature of Tipon's terraces lies in the fact that they are composed of processed blocks (sometimes megalithic) so tightly fitted to each other that even a knife blade cannot be placed in the seams, but they are laid so that the effect of a fancy mosaic is created.

Considering the high-rise landscape, even for modern builders, the construction of such a structure is associated with the need for accurate calculation and adherence to a pre-worked and drawn up plan. In this case, all will be involved in special equipment and devices with CNC control. And how did the ancient architects who did not have a written language and even a wheel - the question is.
Especially in this regard, some megalithic stones stand out, which are simply impossible to move without special construction cranes, but the ancients were able to do this, but how?
But these are all small things compared to the ancient water supply system. After all, scientists have still not figured out where it originates and how it still works after such a venerable time. It is noteworthy that each terrace is equipped not only with an internal system, but also with an external one, which, most likely, was of a purely decorative character.
Let's take a look at this object from a bird's eye view at these coordinates:
Now move the map a little and you can see that the Tipon complex is just a small part of a huge complex, about the rest of which few people know (although they are not closed to the public).
And if you mentally finish building the roads, you can see an area that is officially called Big unknown structures, and looks very similar to the ruins of defensive fortifications, where petroglyphs were found.
Perhaps further research will reveal all the secrets of such an amazing structure as the Tipon complex.
