What revered artifact from the heart of the Incan Empire is the following riddle alluding to?
In the heart of the empire, where the sun’s first rays kiss,
A tribute to nature, divinely amiss.
An artifact lies from the long past,
An echo of culture, vast and vast.
Molded by hands unknown, a tell-tale of might,
A silent observer of the day and night.
Solid yet hollow, a paradox it may seem,
A beacon of civilization's gleam.
One with the condor, puma, and snake,
Sacred and revered, for heaven's sake.
To the worlds of above, here, and below,
A conduit to the divine, subtly bestow.
Gold to the touch, though not in hue,
Witness to rituals, old and new.
Emblazoned with stories, myths unbound,
In its presence, whispers of ancients are found.
Though it breathes no more, in essence, it's alive,
In its silent tales, histories thrive.
Though the kingdom fell, it stands unstirred,
A symbol of a people, their voice unheard.
What revered artifact from the heart of the Incan Empire does the riddle allude to?
