I remember one of those idiot "In Search Of..." type shows in the

Never mind why would aliens with such advanced tech would build a
crooked lumpy stone wall like that anyway.
But a few years later, some archeologist demonstrated how to make
such a fit by banging a couple stones together. Took him 30 minutes
per surface. No aliens or even tools were required.
I've not heard about that, any good links on the subject?
Sorry, saw it on TV long ago.
Some of the rocks at Sacsayhuaman were pretty dang huge, though.
The same principle should work.
Probably. But I bet they squished quite a few peasants transporting
them. Off the top of my head, it seems the largest of the stones was
said to weigh around 20 000 tons.
Let's just say 20 tons.
*My* peasants go up to 20,000!
