A fact from Intihuatana, Urubamba appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 August 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that "perhaps one of the most beautiful and enigmatic places to be found in Machu Picchu" is its Intihuatana, a solar clock stone?
Note: all the the descriptions and citations, as well as the photograph, in this article pertain to Machu Picchu, whereas the title as I found it refers to Pisac, as did the location in the body of the text. I changed the instances of "Pisac" to read "Machu Picchu." The title stands, which is a shame. The entire article should be re-written and re-cited to pertain to the Intihuatana (Intiwatana) sector at the Pisac site, or the title should be changed to "Machu Picchu."
Another point; the claim that the artifact is as old as Stonehenge or E-Ninnu will not bear examination; scholarly consensus has it constructed in the mid-15th century CE, whereas Stonehenge was raised c. 2300 BCE and E-Ninnu in the 22nd century BCE. I leave that element of the article for others to address.
