"The ninth dragon is disorder." The wall answers with channels so precise that water marches like ceremony.

Andes 17: Tipon and the Precision Craft of Andean Water Governance

Ancient Peru Research

Tipon is a rare, concrete window into Andean hydraulic precision: graded channels, controlled flows, and integrated terrace-water design that still performs after centuries. This is one of the clearest examples of mountain engineering as governance.

Your mythic frame is perfect here: the wall protects by ordering water. Pre-Inka knowledge and Inka scaling converged in systems where technical detail and ceremonial meaning reinforced each other.
