I'm sure you can find it on the net. I have seen so many sci/history show on it. They just used stones to beat/pulverize the larger other stones until, they fit snuggly.

Then remove it and remove those deviations and repeat the check.I'm sure you can find it on the net. I have seen so many sci/history show on it.
