THE HIGH PRIESTS HOUSE: MACHU PICCIIU 



This picture of the interior of the priest's house gives a better idea of the stone of the 

 22 angles. Not onlj' were portions of two niches cut out of this stone, but in a spirit of 

 freakish ingenuity the builders carried a small portion of the stone around the corner, so 

 that a part of the corner itself is in this extraordinary block.

THE HIGH PRIEST S COUCH 



Another view of the interior of the priest's house, showing the long bench, or platform, 

 which was probably used as a couch. Notice the care with which the stones were selected, 

 cut, and symmetrically arranged.
