Photogrammetry of Zona X

Описание: This photogrammetric 3D model of Zona X was created by Marián Marčiš, by combining footage from a DJI drone and photos from a Insta360 X3 camera to create the 55 millions triangles that make up this model.

Zona X (also known as Lanlakuyoc or Lancacuyo) is a mysterious site about a mile North-East of Sacsayhuaman.
It’s a big limestone outcrop intersected by a network of tunnels and narrow passageways, some open to the sky, and others going deep underground.

A chincana entrance is also thought to be hidden here, possibly connecting to Sacsayhuaman.
It's a true stone labyrinth in which it's easy to get lost, which is why I wanted to create a 3D map of it, to get a better idea of how these passages are oriented in relation to each other and where they could lead.

It took several visits to the site to map everything, at least all the passages I could crawl through. Some of these passageways become too narrow to squeeze through, but extend much deeper.

The video doesn't show every passages filmed for the creation of the model. It only shows the main ones, and some of the most prominent stone carvings because we wanted to keep the video relatively short.
