What Experts Don't Tell You About Peru's 200-Ton Stones

Some of the stones in Peru's ancient walls weigh up to 200 tons - heavier than a loaded passenger jet - yet they were cut, moved across mountain terrain, and fitted together so tightly you can't slide a sheet of paper into the joints. By people with no wheel, no iron tools, and no horses.
The usual explanation is that the Inca dragged them on sledges and shaped them with stone hammers. And for a lot of these sites, that's probably true. But that tidy story tends to go quiet on the hardest questions — the impossible precision, the scale of the logistics across mountain slopes, and the fact that the same mastery of giant stone appears again and again across the Andes, at sites like Ollantaytambo and Puma Punku, stretching back long before the Inca.
This isn't a story about aliens or lost technology. It's a look at what we genuinely can't fully explain - and what the standard answer leaves out.
