The Pyramid Effect

First off I'd like to say, that the Incas were probably the most fascinating native Americans of all. They had the largest empire of all, spanning from southern Colombia to southern Chile. They had a giant road system that spanned from one end to the other; and were also famous for there temples. Because they had no written language, all we really know about them is what we have learned from the period after the Spanish conquest (Which isn't really all that much). But, onward to the famous question "How were the pyramids built so that not even A RAZOR BLADE COULD FIT INBETWEEN THE BLOCKS?" I have compiled here for you three possible solutions to this common question.

But before we can figure out the placement of the blocks, we have to figure out how to get them there. So, my first hypothesis, "Did the Incas drag the blocks from the river beds (Their first resting place) all the way to the p


Another hypothesis, dramatically more reasonable, is that "The Incas used an angle tool to chip away the sides to an almost exactly flat surface". To test this we would have to build a replica of this tool and use it accurately. After about a day of chiseling and comparing angles, it came to about the best it could. It was surprisingly accurate and compared reasonably to the real thing. The only difference here is that he was using a light (compared to the real thing) block instead of a fourteen ton rock; although it could be done. That well concludes my report, so lets see the final stats, eh?

Well, these are all very hard hypotheses to prove, because the Incas never recorded how they constructed the pyramids because this was simple every day life to them. Perhaps they dragged the blocks to the site, or maybe they built ramps from mud and things. Maybe they chiseled the blocks, or maybe they even melted them aw
