Maras (Peru), Moray amphitheaters near Cuzco
No full text"Maras Pampa near Cuzco. Disc. Geogr. Rev., January, 1932. Copyright Aerial Explorations, Inc."; "Another day was spent in photographing Fort Sacsahuaman on the heights above Cuzco, but perhaps the most interesting of our aerial photographs in this region are those of the group of amphitheaters that we came upon in the Maras Pampa about fifteen miles northwest of Cuzco. The priests in a church in Cuzco knew of their existence and said they had been used by the Incas for religious presentations during their fiestas. We have, however, not been able to find any mention of them in the literature on the region."Johnson-Shippee ExpeditionGrayscaleBox 44 L [14 b3] 525 No. 2,514 to [14 b3-c1] 5332 No. 35,12
Peru, hills with fort
No full text"Copyright Aerial Explorations, Inc. Disc. Geogr. Rev., January, 1932."; "But, on this second flight we noticed at irregular intervals on both sides of the wall, but at short distances from it, a series of small forts--some circular and some rectangular-- most of which were more or less inset in the top of small hills so as to be quite invisible from the valley floor. Those of the south side, and they were the larger, were located in the hills on the south side of the Santa River opposite the wall. We believe that we located and photographed all of these forts--a total of fourteen. The largest one appeared to be about 300 feet by 200 feet, with walls about fifteen feet high and perhaps five feet thick, and was of piled stone construction, but most of them appeared to be of adobe."Johnson-Shippee ExpeditionGrayscaleBox 36 L [14 b] 12 No. 17,842 to [14 b1] 4352 No. 23,64

No full textNegative Available"View from the north of the ruins of Pachacamac in the Lurin Valley. The large block of ruins near the top of the picture is the Sun Temple built by the Incas.

In the foreground are the remains of the villages established in connection with the shrine.
