And yes, they had bronze tools and a boatload of experience cutting stone by then.
A little more research shows that the "doorway" shrine (if that's what we're discussing) is in Ollataytambo - which was part of the estate of the emperor Pachacuti who lived from 1418–1471/1472. He ruled the kingdom of Cusco and is responsible for Machu Piccu.

bronze doesn't do much to granite...

I have always had a theory that the ancient gods were real people with advanced technology.
Probably after some great reset of society everyone else was plunged into the dark ages except them.
They sat up on that mountain with electricity and indoor plumbing and played god

SO... back the OP
This same masonry is found in Egypt... and in other places around the world at a time when bronze was the best tools... or rocks apparently perfectly smooth super hard rock structures... polygonal masonry... and symbolism
Not to mention all of them having "gods" which taught them technology...
Perhaps all different times in history, but what do you say to one origin... perhaps even the same people that started it all from another time before history as we know it...
perhaps even another planet... which is obviously far fetched but...
bronze doesn't do much to granite...
I'd show you a video but... you don't seem to like them...

Ok... but do you believe these people could actually make these structures with their tools...
not just carving blocks, but cutting into cliff sides... You didn't happen to notice the checkboard lines carved into that area.... you can't make marks like that with bronze chisels or rocks...
To demonstrate how to cut granite in a strait line all you need is a copper saw and sand.
The line will be as strait as the forged saw. Just gotta keep using the groove to expand the line.
Everything is achievable with date correct technology

Be careful with this claim. Which cultures and which gods, specifically? There's no Egyptian deity that taught stonework and I can't think of a Mesoamerican deity that taught stonework.

The Egyptians had the materials you would need to create a hyperspace wavelength with tri-dimensional structures.
Hyperspace is mathematically defined as a space that can
hold more than one (tridimensional) volume in the same place at the same time. Electromagnetic vibrations radiate from antenna, in the form of spherical waves; spherical waves are tridimensional structures.
Empty broadcast space must be hyperspace.
A photographic hologram is a technical device that renders
the electromagnetic matrix visible in a tangible form. A
hologram is exposed by the light of a laser; a laser is a pure
frequency. If you photograph one object with a neon laser to produce a hologram in blue dye and then photograph another object on the same piece of film with an argon laser to produce another image in red dye, you will have two different stereo images occupying all of the same hologrammic plane at the same time. Now, if you shine a collimated red light through the hologram, the cyan image will be projected; a blue light will reveal the red image. The universe is a compound hologram of this kind, with each structure defined by its own wavelengths.
The Egyptians invented dyes so powerful they can still be seen today.
In a real wave,phase velocity
revolves on a plane perpendicular to the axis of wave length.The diameter of the phase helix expands on the radial axes, at right-angles to phase velocity. In this way, the three axes of hyperspace align at right-angles with each other, as all dimensions should.
Hyperspace can be understood only by minds that can perceive the scales above and below the normal
definition of reality.

For example, this site is selling "pre-Columbian" "pre-Incan" sun medallions. It's not a medallion, it's a saw blade. Look at it from the side.
It's glossy because it was hardened with something. You never see Incan pottery with green glaze. Which makes me think that either they salted and heated the blade to form carbon nanotubes. This would make the blade harder than a diamond and it could cut thru andesite.
OR they used powdered aluminum and something else to form alumina on the blade, making the blade harder than a diamond so it could slice thru andesite.

Are you familiar with Shamir, it worked on the hardest of stones and had to be stored in lead containers, it was a gift from god that was used in the construction of the temple of Solomon?
Or the Persian king Zal,
and the legends of an Egyptian way of softening stone?
Or the mysterious cement mentioned by Abd el-latif?
Or have you heard about how the south american gods gave men pito and coca, it is told that pito was able to melt every stone.

Have you worked quartz with simple and rocks? Can you explain how it was done? The intricate quartz heads in the British Muesum for example?
How about overcuts in hard stone, don’t you think they would have noticed long before they made such deep unnecessary cuts if they were using simple tools and methods? My answer isn’t ‘magic’ and I have never claimed such. Every attempt at recreating the methods put forward with basic tools I have seen isn’t feasible.

Bipolar knapping, , is a method which involves the interaction of anvils, hammerstones and the raw material exploited. However, bipolar artifacts and the functional contexts in which they are used are not well known

I'm going to go with a) it's misidentified or b) it's fake.
Sun god medallions don't look like that -- at least, not the authentic ones from pre-Columbian civilizations. And although the site proclaims it's a mace, it most assuredly is not.
