I know Jon Levi makes regular videos on this but have you ever stopped and considered just, how bizarre it is that the structures you see in the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair were claimed to be temporary?
Why did American “Robber Barons”, with some exceptions, never build country manor houses on the scale of those in Europe, despite at some points holding more wealth than the European aristocracy?
We’re told all of The USA portion of North America never held structures on the scale of those found in Mexico, Central and South America, never had indigenous people who built on the Aztec scale. We only have some pyramid-esque mounds on the Upper Mississippi?
With hundreds of tribes here, none would have had abilities to build, similar to the Aztecs?
Do you find this odd? I do.
