Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders
With their primitive tools, they were able to cut tongue and grooves on all of the rocks, which is why they are still standing today with no mortar, or any substance, holding them together. I guess the tongue and groove patent really belongs to the Incas. There was also a lot of really neat sculptures that look like bizarre rock formations, but are representative of their idols of worship during the summer solstice. For example, a strange bunch of rocks projects the shadow of a panther on a certain day annually. Imagine doing all of that work, for one hour per year of reward!
