Cusco Sacsayhuamán 09: the rock of stairs and thrones "Chinchana grande"

The word of "chinchar" (Spanish): bother or kill
The verb "chinchar" in Spanish means "to bother" or also "to kill". Thus the word of "Chinchana" means "the big botherer woman" or "killing site" or "site of sacrifice". But for the execution of killings sacrifice stones are missing.
