This video discussed and shows the use of vinegar and acids to dissolve stone, and questions the possibility if this technique was used by ancient cultures to help fit and finish their cyclopean polygonal stone walls.
Inca masonry is highly regarded as some of the most advanced stone work on the planet, especially as it was done by an ancient culture who we’re generally taught only had access to primitive tools and building methods, it’s no wonder why even the top researchers and scientists around the world are still scratching their heads about how these stones were cut and fit together so perfectly and uniquely. The stone work is truly mesmerising to look at, every block being individually shaped and cut to fit the ones surrounding it, it’s like an elegantly perfect megalithic jigsaw puzzle. The material used for the blocks ranges from limestone in mainly foundation constructions, to granite and andesite which would usually be used for the more prominent constructions or widely visible walls. Some of the most notable places featuring this architecture include Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Cusco, and Ollantaytambo in Peru.

There's 1 piece of evidence I've found that this architecture could have been constructed around 1,200-800bc as there is radiocarbon dating to around that time found in Machu Picchu in this paper, but any items carbon dated from the actual levels of the constructions still all date to the Incan time period - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/291381517_Radiocarbon_dating_Machu_Picchu_Peru
