Intihuatana (the corner broken by an ad agency)

Intihuatana is a ritual stone in South America associated with the astronomic clock or

calendar of the Inca. Its name is derived from the local Quechua language. The most

notable Intihuatana is an archaeological site located at Machu Picchu [1]  in the Sacred Valley

nearMachu Picchu, Peru. The name of the stone (coined perhaps by Hiram Bingham) is

derived from Quechua: inti means "sun", and wata- is the verb root "to tie, hitch (up)"

(huata- is simply a Spanish spelling). The Quechua -na suffix derives nouns for tools or

places. Hence inti watana is literally an instrument or place to "tie up the sun", often

expressed in English as "The Hitching Post of the Sun".[2]
