The Caretaker's House of Machu Picchu

Posted 1 year ago by parker in response to avatar egzon's question: What's the story behind the The Caretaker's House in Machu Picchu? (give a different answer) .

From what I now, it is said that a caretaker, who lived in this house, took care of the cemetery, placing there the bodies of the dead to be dried in the sun. To the back of the house there is a funerary rock having a flat surface that is believed to have been used as a funerary altar.
