"I myself measured one stone 38 feet long, 18 broad, and 6 thick; and in the walls of the fortress of Cusco there are stones much larger. [...] And what is most surprising, the stones of the rampart which I speak of, not having been cut according to rule, or in regular proportion, are very unequal both in size and shape, yet the joinings of these are incredibly adjusted without mortar."--Colossal Vestiges of the Older Nations (1862) by William Linton
