 A NEARER VIEW OF THE PETRCGLYPHS NEAR EIMATAMBO 



A partial view of the Maranyocc boulder covered with petroglyphs. .Their significance 

 is not known, and there is no tradition in the vicinity to account for their presence here. 

 The picture was taken by arranging the tripod so that the camera pointed .almost directly 

 down. It is barely possible that this rock, which is carved in a manner -unlike any other 

 hitherto found in the Department of Cuzco, represents the story of an Indian raid froiti the 

 jungles of the Amazon into the heart of the land of the Incas.
