Pre-Historic Mega Structures of Ollantaytambo Predating the Inca
Damn good 20 min vid!
Ollantaytambo is a gigantic complex located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas northwest of the city of Cusco and possesses one of the most precise megalithic polygonal masonry in the world. One of the most famous structures in Ollantaytambo is the Temple of the Sun. There, we can find remarkable stonework, which includes large slabs of pink granite intricately carved and precisely aligned. The stone blocks weigh between 50 and 70 tons, and they are fitted together with such precision that not even a sheet of paper can slide between them. These blocks were brought to Ollantaytambo from another mountain, across the plain, river, and then they were brought up the mountain. This precision, along with the scale and the transportation of these stone blocks, indicates a highly advanced level of technological and engineering sophistication that some believe was not yet available to the Incas

I fully agree!.. As we're talking about moving stone blocks some weighing between 50 and 70 tons to locations up mountains, with some places not having the space to even drag them up?
Yeah guys...Add to that the mind blowing facts that they understood water irrigation to levels beyond just luck is incredible!

Irrigation channels only need a 1inch fall over 50feet, that way the water runs and at the same time the channels dont lose too much height, but this engineering feat would require something like a spirit level or laser beam, what did they use to get the desired result
