One of those mysteries to me is those stones in South America can’t remember where, that are cut with laser like precision, but randomly. Like “ let’s make this fit here” and some guy comes by with the stone sculpting machine and just makes it fit! And to this day, no stone mason can ever explain it. Oh yeah, with Bronze Age tools no less.

It could be Ollantaytambo or Puma Punku in Peru - they're such compelling sites. If this work CAN be done with Bronze Age methods, I am completely open to accepting it. But it's always the oldest layers of construction that are the most sophisticated and megalithic. Why does it take exclusively modern tools and logistics to cut, manipulate, transport and place similarly sized stones if it could be done thousands of years ago with such ease?
