Just as an aside, the design of the wall coverings on the bottom floor of this building is very familiar. I've seen it on a ton of mud flooders, and It clearly covers up soil/wetness stains on these old structures. What is interesting is I've seen the same design on all diffferent architectural styles, in all different cities, across the US. Wonder if there was a company that specialized in covering up mud flood soil stains?

This is going to get harder now with AI being able to create these images without problem.

Our historical records will be impossible to discern.

Maybe all these images are already AI generated.

I really think we need to consider perhaps some more esoteric spiritual possibilities for the sudden and impressive appearance of entire cities and and temples. Some of the cathedrals literally looks like they were called down from some heavenly dimension into form.

I just get this feeling "destroyed by fire" then rebuilt, restored, reincorporated to some dark centred purpose. The Phoenix destroyed by fire to ashes and reborn a new. A spirit destroyed by fire and bound into a structure. This is just me thinking out loud the impression I seem to get around these topics.
