TWKIAK-SIDKI) SloNK I\ OLD INCA WAI.I, IN CUZCO. PERUNo mortar was used, yet these walls have stood through the centuries and will outlivethe sixteenth century buildings which rise above them. The stones vary in length from oneto eight feet, in thickness from six inches to two feet, the larger at the bottom, graduating asthey rise. The most remarkable fact concerning these stones is that the quarries were manymiles from Cuzco. Without iron or steel to shape them, with no device now known to us toaid in their transportation, these huge rocks were carried great distances by men over steepmountain trails.
