Here's a 12+ paragraph breakdown with links to scientific papers detailing the exact construction technique used for this style of Masonry in the Andes: https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/3hx31g/all_in_all_its_just_another_12_sided_block_in_the/?st=jp94rzhx&sh=e2ab8652

>>10196426 is actually somewhat close: they ARE seperate pieces, but, often the super tight fitting stone is basically just a decorative outer layer to the more haphazard structural interior, so it's not one solid, thick wall of stones that tight fitting, though I think in Sacsayhuaman's case many entire walls are indeed solid stone interlocking pieces

>they were far more advanced than we think.
This is actually true, though that's because most people underestimate the complexity of Andean and Mesoamerican civilizations in general, and think of them are barely civilized stone age cultures rather then complex, urban political states, comparable to cultures from classical antiquity in some ways or even contemporary eurpope; not because they were Atleanteans or Aliens or whatever /x/ tier shit
