The purpose of the site is still unknown, although some say it was an ancient fertility temple where fertility rites took place. This is due to the mushroom shape that people attribute to penises and that they are pointing towards the sky, towards Inti (the Inca sun god) and Pachamama (the Inca mother earth goddess).[2] Or they could relate to the Central American prevalence of psychoactive mushrooms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom
