Muyuq Marka is an archaeological site in Peru [1]. It is the base of what was a round Incan tower, which is situated within the fortress Saksaywaman above Cuzco [1]. The Muyuqmarka consists of three concentric, circular stone walls connected by a series of radial walls [1]. There are three channels constructed to bring water into what many scientists consider to be a reservoir [1]. A web-like pattern of 34 lines intersects at the center and there is also a pattern of concentric circles that corresponded to the location of the circular walls [1].
