Sayhuite (Saywite) is an archaeological site 47 kilometres (29 mi) east of the city Abancay in the province Abancay in the region Apurímac in Peru. The site is regarded as a centre of religious worship focusing on water.[1] An important feature on the site is the Sayhuite monolith, a rock with more than 200 geometric and zoomorphic figures. In the Monuments of the Inca by John Hemming, Hemming points to a colonial narrative that describes the interior of the Sayhuite temple. The temple featured larger columns draped in fabrics with gold bands the "thickness of one's hand." The temple was also under the care of the priestess Asarpay who jumped to her death in the nearby 400 metre gorge to avoid capture by Spanish forces.

When you combine this with the enigmatic carved features interspersed amongst the natural bedrock, which are suggested by some as greatly pre-dating the Inca, due to the extent of the weathering seen upon them and their scattered and fragmentary remnants, then clearly that was the culture teaching advanced irrigation, as the model they left demonstrates...the locals always maintained the oldest structures, those of the highest quality, were of the Gods

The scattered carved stones then are probably demonstrating in some way engineering principles and methods of harnessing natural elements, yet what in particular is generally baffling.
Here's a good example of one such structure, baffling Brian Foerster...
Given the eroded nature of these stones and their scattered and fragmentary contexts a strong case is made that these are of a culture that pre-dated the Inca, remnants of the first ancestors and the time of the Gods.
If that is the case the Gods were kind enough to create a working model of all one needed to know...
