Intihuatana = Hitching post of the sun
The Intihuatana is located above a pyramid constructed in the highest part of the urban sector of Machu Picchu. It’s name means “where one ties the sun” and this was precisely its objective, through religious rituals the Incas used to avoid the disappearance of the sun, or to secure it’s return. The Intihuatana had an important role in Inca belief – it was used in a ritual that had to secure the presence of the sun during the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) hence its common name, “the hitching post of the sun”.

TOLTEC RELIGION AND LEGEND
Religion in the Toltec Empire was dominated by two major deities. The first, Quetzalcoatl, is shown as a plumed serpent. This deity of learning, culture, philosophy, fertility, holiness and gentility was absorbed from earlier cultures in the area. His rival was Tezcatlipoca, the smoked mirror, known for his warlike nature and tyranny.
The greatest ruler of the Toltecs was Ce Acatl Topiltzin who was renown for being the leader and high priest of Quetzacoatl at the time when Tula and the Empire were established. According to Toltec legend, Tezatlipoca's followers drove Topiltzin and the followers of Quetzalcoatl out of the city around 1000 AD. They fled south, where they were able to defeat the Maya at the city of Chichen Itza, and take it for their own. An interesting twist in Topiltzin's legend is that he vowed to return to Tula from the east in one of his sacred years and take his vengeance. This legend lived all the way to the time of the Aztecs, who attributed the arrival of the Spanish as the return of Topiltzin, an event that they feared greatly.
The Toltec Empire and leaders created an unmatched mystique in the minds of the Central American people. The Toltec leaders were thought of as being alongside deities. Later cultures often revered them and copied their legends, art, buildings and religion.
