There's no need to be disrespectful and attempt to portray my position as if it is something ridiculous and requires belief in space aliens. As I said, I think what was built was very sophisticated, and I don't find the claim that it was built just by "banging rocks together" to be satisfactory especially since no one has been able to reproduce an equivalent structure using this method.
> I never called them primitive.
How would you interpret and contextualize your remark "your only tools were other rocks"? To me, it seems like you're trying to insinuate and put in the mind of the reader exactly that you believe that they were primitive and lacked sophisticated tools.
> archaeologists have shown that rocks can be shaped accurately in the manner of those walls by just banging them together.
I have not seen such a conclusive proof. I'd like to see this proven by building an equivalent structure to Sacsayhuaman, at least perhaps even a corner. That alone would be impressive.

- mark336 5y agoYeah there is no simple answer for some of the monoliths. I have often wondered if they had a technique perhaps using vibrational energy to cut the rocks. Maybe they managed to find a vibrational frequency maybe by rubbing the rock with their stone tools in a certain way, or with water in between that would cut the rocks with ease. I also saw a show once that said that in one of the Mexican sites they found an underground canal and a pool with mercury. Don't know if they somehow used that to cut their rocis.
