fallowing
ones:

theory
indicates

constructions
was made and

The second
theory
indicates
that it was
a place of
refugees for
the Ñustas
or virgins
of the Sun,
because of
this reason
they called
it the
Sacred City,
this theory
comes from
the arrival
of Spaniards,
the Inca
government
made these
woman escape
to a place
in the
Andes, that
place was
the City of
Machupicchu;
this theory
is also
based when

remains from
which 68.9
were woman.
