Trapezoidal Inca doorway of fitted stone at Machu Picchu, looking through to a large carved boulder

Inca doorways are trapezoidal, wider at the base, which helps them stand through earthquakes. The stones are fitted so tightly you can't slide a knife between them. Walking through these passages, you feel how much of Machu Picchu was about precision, not just scale.
