There is in Quito a strange site that still baffles people to this day? Even the name and meaning is baffling as it is known by many names ? La olla Del Panceo or to some meaning Pot of Bagal? How odd Pot of Bagel no ya don,t smoke it and ya can't eat it?
It is a strange Beehive like structure in Ecuador believed to be of Inca construction.
Bagel knoll, with three thousand meters above sea level, is a reference to the Quito because it marks the division between the south and the center of the city and still maintains the legacy of the Inca period because there is the pot of bagel, a sort of tank round eight feet deep that was used to irrigate crops.
Years later, during the Spanish domination, the place served to collect rain water for watering the gardens of Spanish mansion Bellavista and then was used as a defensive site of colonial troops during the libertarian Battle of Pichincha on May 24 1822.
However some depute its function some believe it is a solar observatory? Dr David Zink many years ago believed the site has important solar Alignments for the Inca Culture Other believed it was once a depository of a fabulous treasure? Others still think its a gate way to a mysterious treasure
Whatever the reason for its existence it is a mighty strange structure every for the Inca period
So what do ya think it is?
