2 things to share today ...

The walls rely on shape, not cement. Sacsayhuamán, on the northern edge of Cusco, consists of enormous polygonal stones fitted together without mortar. Many blocks weigh dozens of tons, with some exceeding 100 tons. Their irregular faces interlock tightly, creating stable joints.
The layout forms three large zigzag terraces. These angled walls provided defensive advantages while also acting as retaining structures for the hillside. The largest stones appear in the lower courses, supporting smaller ones above.
The precision comes from shaping each block to match its neighbors. The result is a continuous wall where weight and geometry hold the structure together.
