Indeed @aswita. For some spectacular ruins, we can only wonder in awe on how our ancient ancestors built their civilizations, even speculating that they were assisted by aliens, lol. 🤣
On the other hand, Angkor Wat and the rest of the temples in the archaeological sites of Siem Reap were in fact products of ingenious human architecture and engineering at a time when construction technologies were limited. My deepest respects and congratulations to the brains, bodies, and hands responsible for these sacred masterpieces! 😊👍
I also thought the same, but apparently there are many things that we did not know in the past. For example, I recently learned that there are some temples made of dried mud that looks like a large carved rock. It seems we have a lot to learn from our ancestors about design and architecture :D
Exactly @aswita. There are still multitudes of mysteries shrouding our ancient architecture. As you mentioned, even their primitive building materials continue to astonish us, seemingly defying the laws of nature by playing tricks on our senses and perceptions. 😊
