So that's one of my projects is I'm going to map all of these stones and where they are around Cusco, and it'll be like on an app or a website or something where you can find it. But yeah, it's just, it's incredible. So they preserve the stones.
Maybe just look up Cusco Cyclopean stones. We may be able to find an image. And I could show you something on my phone. I know I've got it on my phone. Okay. Maybe I could send it to you, but I'll actually send you the photo. Not these. So some of these are from Sacsayhuaman. Okay, so to the top left here, so that's the 12-sided stone. It's on this building.

When you walk around this building, the name is escaping me right now. It's the Palace of Something. When you walk around this building, you're going to see some of the stones where an earthquake has separated. So you have two stones that sit perfectly on top of each other. Well, when an earthquake happens, one of these stones will slide back.

And when it does, you'll see an angle that ramps up like this up to the exterior. And so what it looks like is the stone is placed on top and it's smushed the stone down. Does that make sense? Whoa. Man, if we searched hard enough, we could find it here. I will send you this photo. I've got it on my phone. Wow. Yeah. Just that idea is fascinating.
