On top of the sacred hill is a curiously carved stone called an Intihuatana stone, or sun 

 dial, or sun circle. "Inti" means "sun," and "huataiia" a "rope," in Quichua, the language 

 of the Incas. liitihuataita stones are found also in Cuzco and in Pisac and Ollantaytambo 

 (see pages 472 and 507).
