Note the precise integration of the cut bricks with the natural rock. From Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_picchu )
"All of the construction in Machu Picchu uses the classic Inca architectural style of polished dry-stone walls of regular shape. The Incas were masters of this technique, called ashlar, in which blocks of stone are cut to fit together tightly without mortar. Many junctions in the central city are so perfect that not even a knife fits between the stones."
So cool
