At the base of the Ollantaytambo ramp there are also some “Piedras Cansadas” (tired stones), one of which has more evidence of them using rows of wedges to split the stone apart.

I got some drone footage today of the giant ramp leading up to Ollantaytambo’s Temple of the Sun.

There are also some ruins above the start of the ramp and along it, which may have been guard stations, to protect this rear entrance into the site.
