Machu Picchu: the walls of the Sun temple -- the view from above
Machu Picchu, Sun temple, view from outside from below, and view from above
In this wall of Sun temple stones have moved by earthquakes. They are not corrected because the whole site of Machu Picchu is a world heritage of UNESCO and
allegedly nothing must be changes. For me this guideline not to repair anything is not comprehensible because the preservation of Machu Picchu is preferable!

Machu Picchu, there are stones on the floor piled up in a row - there is a covered channel 1,2 - on the terrace over the Sun temple there is a little water channel
From this agricultural terrace there is a view inside the temple, with a giant stone in it:

Who has cut these stones? All is composed WITHOUT mortar, but it's QUAKEPROOF. Were these natives with wooden spoons? Surely not, but these were extraterrestrials.
