The ancient Incan city of Sacsahuamán near Cuzco in Peru contains a
wall built using stone blocks weighing tons, each fitted so closely together that
it's impossible to slide a piece of paper between them. In addition, no cement
or mortar was used anywhere. The blocks have been placed together with
the greatest expertise and precision. How these enormous blocks were
shaped to fit so perfectly against one another has still not been unraveled
using today's technology.
Even more astonishing, one stone block used in the construction is even
larger than all the others. This block is the size of a five-story house and
weighs some 20,000 tons! How the builders of
Sacsahuamán managed to transport it is a mys-
tery. Even with present-day machinery, it is im-
possible to lift such an amazingly heavy weight.
Even the largest winch in the world today will
find it hard to lift such a load. The Incas of that
time in all likelihood used some technology we
cannot even imagine.
