K'ana and Gates of the Sun show same reverse evolution pattern. K'ana city shows same puzzle as Wari with polygonal wall in basement of sloppy rubble/mortar shack Gates of the Sun (Wari) has proper polygonal wall underneath piles of rubble and mortar The Inca turned the Wari aqueduct into a monumental gate with fantastic stonework
The pattern repeats across multiple Andean sites. At K'ana city, a polygonal wall sits in the basement of a sloppily constructed shack. At the Gates of the Sun in Wari, a proper polygonal wall lies underneath rubble and mortar. The Inca later transformed the Wari aqueduct into a monumental gate using exceptional stonework. Interestingly, Kuelap in northern Peru appears to be the exception, built properly from the bottom up — making it stand out from this recurring pattern.
