Inca Uyo[1] is an archaeological site of cut-stone structures located near the town of Chucuito, Peru.[1][2] Inca Uyo is an arrangement of carved stones protruding from the earth within a walled rectangular ruin.[1]
The purpose of the site is still unknown, although some say it was an ancient fertility temple where fertility rites took place. This is due to the mushroom shape that people attribute to penises and that they are pointing towards the sky, towards Inti (the Inca sun god) and Pachamama (the Inca mother earth goddess).[2] Or they could relate to the Central American prevalence of psychoactive mushrooms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom
