Intihuatana
Intihuatana is a ritual stone in South America associated with the astronomic clock or calendar of the Inca. Its name is derived from the local Quechua language. The most notable Intihuatana is an archaeological site located at Machu Picchu〔http://cast.uark.edu/home/education/field-programs/geomatics-for-archaeology-field-school/data-download/intiwatana.html〕 in the Sacred Valley near Machu Picchu, Peru. The name of the stone (coined perhaps by Hiram Bingham) is derived from Quechua: ''inti'' means "sun", and ''wata-'' is the verb root "to tie, hitch (up)" (''huata-'' is simply a Spanish spelling). The Quechua ''-na'' suffix derives nouns for tools or places. Hence ''inti watana'' is literally an instrument or place to "tie up the sun", often expressed in English as "The Hitching Post of the Sun".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Machu Picchu )〕 ==Damaged== Intihuatana was damaged on September 8, 2000 when a crane being used in an ad shoot toppled over and chipped off a piece of the granite.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peasants Protest at Machu Picchu )〕
