No, no, no, there is nothing simple in the perfect edges, lines, and cuts in that kind of stone. Get some education.

This is no more a quarry than a hill of beans!
Here's some photos from the immediate vicinity -
Does that look like it's been quarried? Or does it look like it was shaped this way to preform a function? You decide.

Are you even following the thread?
The edges ,lines and cuts are simple, they are not complicated.Anyone educated would see that immediatly.The technology used is in question.
You may be referring to the difficulty in producing those edges ,lines, and cuts, and if so YOU should consider your own lack of self-education and use Google a little. it is SIMPLE to create perfect lines,edges and cuts in stone using handsaws,I have watched it and you are underinformed.
I would hate to see your guesses on how a diamond is cut so perfectly for goodness sakes your imagination is so energetic,ha ha ha.
How DO you explain the lack of super-tech with the cutting of gems stones like diamonds?
I am not saying with any surety that those artifacts were worked with a handsaw or a laser or a sonic tool,or with some other mechanical tool,nor can you,we are however faced with the realitys that ANY of these methods COULD work the stone,logistics aside..
In the past artisans could spend their entire lifetime working on one piece and not finish it with multiple generations working single pieces.

Stone mason today would have a difficult time reproducing this utilizing modern equipment.
Every time I see someone regurgitating this same tripe, it infuriates me. What's your source for the above? Because I am something of a stonemason. I work primarily with granite, and there isn't a single individual feature shown that I could not recreate in a day or two with modern equipment. The entire piece would take a good long while to duplicate, but it could be done relatively easily. Take away the modern equipment, and I could still recreate any feature you ask me to, though it would take significantly longer. To say that it couldn't be done or that we would have trouble doing the same thing with modern equipment is nothing but ignorant.
In between other projects, I work on enclosures for high-end DACs for a company that my company is contracted with. These enclosures are solid granite, with a high-polish and dimensions and right angles accurate to 1/100th of an inch, and guess what? It's done entirely by hand. So please, instead of regurgitating what they said on Ancient Aliens, and furthering ignorance and outright lies, try educating yourself on stone working techniques.
The architectural term is "inside corner". It is cut with a chisel, not a saw. The surfaces are then cleaned up with any number of grinding techniques.
This is one of the 3 Plane Corners I've red dotted the center please explain how it is possible to achieve that with a saw?

I know it wasn't done with a saw, thanks.

If those at the AA show could get away with it they would claim this could only have been done by Aliens and modern man couldn't achieve such things with the equipment we have now.
Some things are only a mystery to people because someone somewhere told them it was a mystery and they believed it.

"It really is a Pandoras Box you open up when you begin to try to place archeology on a linear straight timeline,it is impossible to maintain the timeline.Technologies and Cultural norms overlap and intertwine,our history is created in circles or cycles and they are stacked one upon the other,it is not developed in a linear one dimensional manner,if you can envision a slinky toy half-stretched out with all of the different technologies from each ring washed into the middle into a smorgasbord with many different parts of many different technologies floating to the very top again to be picked up by the next ring up on the slinky,this is how our technologies are re-discovered and carried forward through these Earth Cycles.If anyone is with me on this and can post a picture of a Slinky half-stretched up I would dearly appreciate a post to help illustrate this point.If anyone even knows what a slinky is anymore I guess,ha ha ha.
If I had one wish it would be for humanity to be able to see the many spirals of our History sequentially and clearly delineated from one another.it would be something to see,each Cycle an entire evolution of its own within an even larger Earth Cycle evolution.Each cycle one ring of the Slinky."

More high strangeness in the Andes this time at Vilcabamba with the truly amazing Nusta Hispana. This thing looks like it was dropped off here to baffle us by beings from some alien planet. No doubt the wannabe archaeologists will say ‘it’s a ceremonial sacrificial altar’ but is it? If it were an altar then it doesn’t look very practical with all those ledges, knobs, cut outs and bits and bobs all over it. And if these cut out type rocks scattered all around Cusco Peru are altars then why aren’t they all the same shape?
Let’s have a look at this stone masterpiece of mystery -

Are these knobs a form of language that we don’t know about? I’ve heard people say they are for strapping ropes around to drag the rock well that’s just stupid in my opinion as you can see in this photo this object wasn’t going to be moved anywhere –

Well I'm sure it wasn't dropped from space but that's about the only thing I'm certain of when it comes to this beautiful object .
How about you?

OMG rocks!
Hand worked too!
Has to be from space.
Because "we can't do this today"I'm sure you know those are produced with diamond infused blades turned by milling machines and water injection. Yeah I'm sure you knew that.
