The Fortress Walls of Saksaywaman

Not only do we not know who built these ancient fortress walls, but we also don't know how they were built. They date back to pre-Incan times in Peru, and they're so perfectly constructed that a sheet of paper couldn't pass between the cracks.

Some of the stones that make up the walls weigh more than 200 tons. It would take a large team of people with advanced machinery to build something like this today, but the Incans had none. How did they even lift the stones?
