Don't these stones look like the fake stone at Disneyworld? Well, they are real, and were built by the Incas, entirely by hand-labor, thousands of years ago.
The Incas built as well, or better than, other illustrious civilizations like the ancient Egyptians or the Mayans. The Incas used all manpower, too, because the only pack animals they had (until the Spanish invaded and brought horses, etc) were llamas and alpacas, which are not strong enough to pull massive stones through the jungle. Instead, thousands of native Incas did the task, pulling the tremendous stones on logs or stone rollers from the quarries into Cusco.Rand would have made a magnificent Incan - he is so strong! Here he is in the Temple of the Moon, a piece of impressive Incan architecture and construction.
Peru is in an earthquake zone and the Incas knew how to construct massive edifices that would withstand big earthquakes. The stones are masterfully cut to fit together in a perfect, tight interlocking weave. Each stone is pillowed. They are a masterpiece to behold

I read and listened to many stories on how and why did the Incas build these structures first of all way so big who or what where they trying to keep out in the first place and how did they remove the giant lumps of stone from the mountain they did not have any machinery or explosives and they certainly did not bash it out of the mountain with a lump of stone that is ridiculous its also ridiculous that cutting dead straight lines was easy for them. Well there's one thing one thing for sure that they made each intricate stone with another lump of stone why so complicated when they could have made a interlocking wall by straight cut in a alternating castellations form?
We do know that cutting dead straight lines was easy for them. Well there's one thing for sure the Incas were onlookers they had the assistance of a far superior race than us to be removing and fitting stones weighing 80 to 100 tons over 1500 years ago. They had some very advanced cutting gear we are so naive on this planet there are many trillions and trillions of what we call stars in the solar system, so why do we think we were the first in the solar system and we still think we are what with our technology like computers, satellite communication, cell phones etc. In the superior races eyes we are in their stone age years.
