Today I will briefly tell you about several types of technologies in Cusco and the mystery of the first megalith builders.
In general, the whole article can be described with just one photo.
Here we see 3 types of construction technologies. The first is based on a solution and single stones without processing. The second is on neatly folded and cut stones. The third consists of megalithic blocks and was probably made by the "first" builders.
The most interesting thing is that all these masonry are located one after another in one place. I forgot to add, the second masonry was made of andesite, and the megalithic one was made of basalt, the deposit of which is located 70 kilometers from the building.
Here's another interesting example of technology transition.

And more examples of the transitions of the Inca masonry to the masonry of the first builders.
Inca snakes cut over the found buildings.
The mystery of history lies in the fact that historians officially attribute all technologies to the Inca civilization. Although the megalithic masonry in some places begins to exceed the level of our understanding, even with the current level of development.
My designations in the upper right corner indicate renovation. Apparently the Incas were trying to restore the wall at the expense of the discovered blocks.
Now, let's show a couple of normal photos, not screenshots from the video. Still, this is one of the best clutches in the world. The thickness of the masonry is almost 2 meters.
Now go back to the beginning of the article, look at the photos of other clutches, and take another look at this one. The Inca's version of its construction does not stand up to criticism.
What kind of civilization of the first builders erected all these mysterious structures, what technologies did they have and where did they disappear? For us, these moments remain a big question.
