Existed a sacrificial fire altar in the first temple of the Sun, Coricancha in Cuzco? was it described in Sanskrit text dated to the 2nd century BCE?

The form of the area where the Santo Domingo church has been built on the top of the Qoricancha (House of the Sun, Koricancha, Waricancha, Coricancha, Qurikancha) has a striking resemblance to the form of an sacrificial altar Agnitraya (according to the Katyayana Sulba-Sutra from approx. 2nd century BCE). The shape described there is somewhat similar to the 2D form of a traditional drum laid on the side; usualy three fire areas were built in the area as described in the text written in Sanskrit, and they were probably in existance inside of the sacred ¨drum¨ shaped area before arrival of the Pizzaro`s troops; they might have been removed by the Incas before 1530, as there is no Spanish record which would point to their existance after the year 1530. We are pointing to the strinking resemblance of the ´drum´ like form of the Fort (La Fortaleza) Sacsayhuaman, and we are calling attention of the researchers to identify the fire altar areas should they had existed in the ruins of the Coricancha. The text in Sanskrit refers to three areas: *Garhapatya — rock foundation of this structure according to the Katyayana Sulba-Sutra had to be located on the Western side of the sacred area (Devi) where the St. Augustin church had been located; it was probably used by the class of Inca priests. *Āhavanīya - was an altar with a square shape - the four sides of this square represented the four major directions of space: north, south, east, and west. The āhavanīya altar had to be located in the eastern portion of the larger Vedic sacrificial arena. Specifications for the construction, location, and use of the āhavanīya are found also in the Yajur-veda, one of the oldest Vedic texts. *Daksina - was the altar which had a semi-circular shape; according to the Katyayana Sulba-Sutra it should face the Southern direction with its abside-like shaped wall ; it was probably used by the aristocracy and warrior´class. Iglesia del Santo Domingo, its foundation and details, are rooted to the first Andean cultures such as Tiahuanaco (e.g. stones found there show the technique of locking ashlar blocks by means of bronze connectors), a constructive detail which suggests even an older archaeological horizon. Ballón says “(…) it goes back to the founding of Cusco by Manco Cápac[...] whobuilt possibly on the ruins of a pre-Inca construction, called according to some chroniclers, Waricancha ” (see the illustration from the article below).
