Thick walls

The stones in these walls were carved by hand using only stone or bronze tools. They were transported up the mountain and raised into place.

Machu Picchu is believed to be the estate of a 15th-century Incan emperor. It is located at an altitude of 7,970 feet (2,430 meters) in the Andes mountains of Peru.

It is difficult to conceive of them moving these stones by hand, but they did.
