Another mostly “Eurocentric” view of ancient architecture…

The World… or is it just mostly Europe?
Another “Eurocentric” write-up by someone who clearly has no real clue about ancient sites.
The Temple of the Sun (Huaca del Sol) from the Moche culture in Peru is the largest adobe brick structure in the world and never gets a mention anywhere, not to mention its equally impressive sister the Temple of the Moon (Huaca de la Luna). Then there’s Machu Picchu, The Nazca Lines…. and all of those are in one country! What about the massive earthworks in north America? Angkor Wat in Cambodia isn’t there either… I could go on but I’ve made my point…
Nice article nonetheless.
