Fashioned out of green diorite, the twelve-angled stone is part of the Lienzo Pétreo wall in Cuzco, an inward leaning wall that encircles the now-destroyed Palace of Hatunrumiyoc. Comprised of multiple massive stone blocks, the wall was built without the aid of mortar or any kind of binding material. Each block was cut to fit perfectly with every other surrounding block, requiring a painstaking amount of care and attention to detail. In fact, the joints of the wall are so precisely fashioned that even today, hundreds of years after it was first constructed, not even a single piece of paper can fit between any of the wall’s blocks.

While the entire wall is a sight to behold, the stone of twelve angles, so named for the twelve distinct cuts that form twelve corresponding joints, stands apart as the crown jewel of this geometric feat. It remains a popular attraction in the Peruvian city, and a longstanding testament to the Incas’ devotion to their craft.

E'Njaura

God of Logos

Logos (λόγος) the divine wisdom manifest in the creation, government, and redemption of the world

E'Njaura is the patron deity of rationality and light. He protects creators, poets and all of academia.

Symbols: Day, Rubies, Fire.

[he is one if the three main gods from the dnd campaign I dm for my friends and is also very clearly inspired by Enjolras from Les Mis so if anything do consider this fanart lol]

#art #fanart #les mis #oc #les amis #les miserables #artists on tumblr #enjolras #dnd #dnd deity #btw if you think he looks like an inca deity of sorts it's because i will die on the latino!enjolras hill #also my muse is of incan descent so of course i will have the god of light be somewhat related to him
