machu picchu fine grained white granite which gleams like marble - peru
A
wall which abuts on the semicircular tower at Machu Picchu is
notable for the beautiful symmetry of the niches in it, those
hall marks of the Inca builders; between each niche is a projecting
squared knob of stone. The wall itself is built of specially
selected white granite of such fine grain that it gleams like
marble.
