The walls and the giant stones of the Main Temple of Machu Picchu

In 2011 this Main Temple of Machu Pichu had suffered an earthquake in 2011. Consulting historic photos of 1912 when Machu Picchu was liberated by trees and shrubs one can see that this damage was already there in 1912. The tour guide meant that it was not allowed to change anything in Machu Picchu because it would be a "world heritage". I mean: the administration of Machu Picchu should repair this quake damage immediately because the stones could break off by the pression conditions. This is not logic to claim one should not repair an earthquake damage, because a world heritage exists for being preserved and not for being ovserved how earthquakes are destroying it (!).

The biggest stone in Machu Picchu

Idea: may be this rock is cut from the mountain on which Machu Picchu is built?

Who cut the giant stones and put it here? Natives with wooden spoons? - Extraterrestrials were.
