A funny fact about macchu picchu is that is was built with a technique that was cutting blocks of stone so perfectly that they fit them together without any mortar. But even so you could not even fit a straw of grass in between them

now thats precision!

commentSuppose that also explains why it is so intact... do you know - has it been restored or is this all "as found"

commentI don't know, but I believe this is as it was found. Did not see any signs of any restorations anywhere.

The biggest reason it's so intact is that the conquistadors never found this place.

commentYes, I know, otherwise it would have been a different story alltogether of course. But still, fairly intact for its age.
