Moray is made up of 4 slightly elliptical galleries, which the inhabitants call "muyus". The largest gallery has a depth of 45 m and the average height of each platform is 1.80 m. For researchers, Moray's circular platforms functioned as an agricultural research center, where each level offered a different climate environment allowing different plants to be grown experimentally. The platforms were built on retaining walls filled with fertile land. He watered them through complex irrigation systems. At the bottom of the platforms, there is a system that stores the water coming from the rains. Following this practice, more than 250 plant species were cultivated. Other studies indicate that the place was used for astronomical observation and to monitor the climatic changes that could occur, by monitoring the sunlight and the shadows generated by the high mountains in the area.
