Naupa Iglesia is an Inca huaca shrine, in Peru, that was constructed in a cave whose flat stone surfaces form an inverted “V”. On a rock wall of the cave there is an extremely precise “false door” which leads nowhere, and in front of the cave stands an abstract sculpture of black granite [2000×2677]

Maybe it was a WIP?
Hey, are you tired of real doors, cluttering up your temple, where you open ’em, and they actually go somewhere? And you go in another place of worship? Get on down to “Sapa Inca’s Real Fake Doors”! That’s us. Fill a whole temple up with ’em. See? Watch, check this out! Won’t open. Won’t open.
I’m so curious about the shrine was for. Was it perhaps something to do with death or the afterlife, and the false door was symbolic of that? Could the sculpture being symbolic of different post-death outcomes?
I fucking love the weird geometry of that.
