I saw a TV show that went to the Andes and got the natives to replicate some of that stone work. They measured for the rock cuts by scribing, just like when building a Scandinavian full scribe log cabin... Measuring the rocks to fit tightly did not seem that hard. But it required lots of manpower to cut the rock, because they were pounding one rock against another to cut it one tiny chip at a time. The ancients probably had lots of apprentices doing the rough cutting, with a select group of master carvers to finish up the exact fits.
