After they transported rocks to the construction site, Inca builders used rock hammers to further shape them. They used wires as tape measures to figure out exactly what size the stones needed to be. Then they polished the stones with sandstone or a sand-and-water mixture. Inca stonemasons also used a form of sliding ruler and a plumb line to set the stones so that no space remained between them. A plumb line is a string with a weight, or bob, on the end. It is used to find and mark a vertical line.

Most Aztec people lived in simple houses that were made with adobe and topped with thatched roofs.
