The Sacasayhuaman (also Saksaywaman or Saqsawaman, meaning 'Royal Eagle') fortress-temple complex lies at the northern edge of the former Inca capital Cuzco.. Constructed during the reign of Pacahuti (1438-1471 CE) and his successors, its massive, well-built walls remain today as a testimony not only to Inca power but also the skills of Inca architects and their approach of blending their monumental structures harmoniously into the natural landscape. The Sacsayhuaman is still used today for reenactments of Inca-inspired ceremonies....

The Sacsayhuaman did operate as a fortress during the Spanish conquest of Peru from 1532 CE. The Spaniards, led by Francisco Pizarro, conquered Cuzco shortly after killing the Inca ruler Atahualpa in 1533 CE but then faced an organized and sustained siege from a large Inca army. Pizarro sent his brother Juan to attack the Sacsayhuaman using cavalry and then climb the walls with ladders. The offensive was successful, even if Juan died in the process, and the occupation of the fortress allowed the Spanish to resist the siege.

Following the collapse of the empire after the European invasion, most of the stones of the Sacsayhuaman were reused elsewhere in the colonial buildings of Cuzco. The ruins were covered in earth by the Spanish to prevent their use by rebel Inca forces and the site was not rediscovered until its excavation in 1934 CE. Today the ruins of the fortress are the location for the annual Inca reenactment festival the Inti Raymi, held on the winter solstice...

A few days ago I asked about a couple mystery items. One is the small lead object shown below.

Here is what Joe D. said about the lead item. The lead piece looks either like part of a jig head, or a lead foot for a toy!!😁 And maybe the "button" was a brass or copper snap!👍👍 Joe D.

John L. said, Likely, only a sailor would recognize this object, and I happen to be one of those types!😀

The object is almost certainly a led keel from a model sailboat. I have found one or two myself before.

The flat "side" on top is where it attaches to the hull and the lower portion is "winged" meaning the model was relatively modern (within 40 years I would guess as this keel design first appeared on a 12m yacht in the 1983 Americas Cup).

It also appears to have been from a very small model.

My first thought was that it went on a fishing rod somehow, but at the same time I don't think so. Those are good ideas. Thanks guys. Maybe I'll post some more views. I didn't show the front to back view, which was a mistake.  More views are almost always better.

A new poll found that roughly 4 in 10 (41%) of Biden and half (52%) of Trump voters at least somewhat agree that it’s time to split the country, favoring blue/red states seceding from the union.

Here is that link.

So much for the administration uniting the country, but that was never their goal.   Before building back better, they must break down first, and that was always the intent despite what they say.  It is very easy to decode the administration.  They are very predictable and consistent.

Despite the new developments off of our coast, the surf today will only be 2 - 4 feet, with a peak surf of up to five feet Monday.

Happy hunting,
