It's fascinating when you compare these various types of stonework. The oldest is far superior to the Inca, Spanish and modern restoration work, this is opposite to what logic would prescribe, and we see this all over the world. There is an apparent devolution in skill and knowledge when it comes to building with megalithic stones, and not in some small part. The blocks in the photograph above are attributed to either the Inca or pre-Inca at Sacsayhuaman; the jigsaw-like design is called cyclopean polygonal construction. In some places these blocks fit so perfectly and consistently across the contact faces nothing can pass between them. Some of the blocks weigh upwards of 50 tonnes and would be challenging to cut even by today's standards. The texture across the face of the blocks is also noteworthy; they look moulded with little creases, lines, channels, indents, and bumps.
The pre-Inca blocks compared to the Inca and Spanish construction can be likened to the difference between night and day, although the stonework of the Inca is pretty accurate with adobe mortar construction and manageable size blocks similar to what we would call 'modern' stonework. We can also see clear examples around these sites that the Inca recycled the some of the smaller stones from the original polygonal structures into their mud-rammed stone construction.
The size, quality, intricacy, and overall superiority of the pre-Inca walls compared not only to the Inca but every other following wall structure is undeniable. It appears to be the reason why researchers and experts alike have come to theorise an advanced heating or chemical process being employed by these ancient people to soften the stone. The hypothesis suggests this process allowed the stone to be moulded and shaped like a putty or advanced concrete. There is also a distinct lack of tool marks on the blocks that comprise these Pre-Inca walls.
Some believe that we are looking at evidence of ancient aliens and extremely advanced machining technology. The structures themselves are out of this world compared to our current understanding of building limitations, and with objective evidence of these structures all over the world, some of these theories can seem quite compelling. However, there is no indication of these claims in other areas, no advanced tools, machines, measuring devices, plans or drawings, and not a hint of interstellar spacecraft. There appears to be very little evidence of any highly advanced civilisation before the pre-Inca, by our current understanding of 'advanced' and 'technology'. Some of the structures here are beyond the capability of human beings, machines and little grey men. All over the earth, we have extremely advanced ancient megalithic structures that appeared from somewhere with extraordinary consistency across vast distances and cultures.
Some of the blocks angle slightly inwards; the large exposed blocks sit on top of more blocks that go down below ground level. We also see abrupt transitions in stone size and shape, for example in places, the large blocks rest on top of much smaller stones with the corresponding cyclopean polygonal pattern. All the walls abruptly terminate at about the same height across the horizontal that repeats as the terraces step up.
The texture is consistent across the face of the blocks throughout this site. The irregular bumps or 'knobs' have experts scratching their heads with many different theories. Some say they used them for lifting the blocks; others think they acted as sundials and calendars. Experts also suppose that these walls contain blocks configured by the Inca to show different shapes and animals. They have identified snakes, pumas, and flowers among others.
One of the predominant reoccurring patterns looks like a 'Puma paw' as you can see in these images below.
The patterns are expressed throughout the structures because we are not looking at something was built. The process that gave rise to these structures is impossible to describe accurately while being blinkered by currently accepted scientific theories. Obsessively dedicated ancient humans did not create these structures from hard stone using primitive tools or advanced machinery, and it wasn't aliens.
You will need to adjust your scale to understand what we are looking at here and the anomalies will begin to explain themselves. I'm going to offer you considerably simpler theory that will initially reveal a new ancient world seemingly beyond comprehension. It can present us with unprecedented ways of thinking about the world around us, raise new areas of scientific research while at the same time confounding your world-view. We have an unlimited amount of objective material evidence all over the earth that needs urgent re-examination.

The Pre-Inca megalithic stonework has perplexed archaeologists and researchers alike. Mainstream archaeology attributes the stonework to the Inca but can offer no logical explanation to how these primitive people could have accomplished the superhuman feats of engineering with no hard metal tools, insufficient technological development and a limited workforce. Many researchers do differentiate between the Inca and the Pre-Inca structures; the theory being that the Inca occupied this area after a past, possibly more advanced civilisation disappeared leaving the Inca to inherit the older structures.
The Spanish conquered the Incan Empire in the 16th century and established a colonial administrative district with jurisdiction over most of South America.
When the Spanish conquistadores inquired about the structures, the Incan elders declared that the megalithic structures were older than the Inca civilisation.
Spanish Adobe walls sit on top of the original pre-Inca megalithic polygonal structures throughout the imperial city of Cuzco, Peru.
