from the air, you see circles within the temples, pretty equally spaced. It makes me wonder if they had mathematics and language in order to communicate construction instructions. Or something like crude, early blueprints. I don't know the various ages of mathematics, etc... but it makes you wonder.

Thankfully there are people who are interested in this and care enough to devote their lives to uncovering these mysteries. Trump and his people want a world where this old stuff isn't important, doesn't matter and isn't worth thinking about, spending money on or teaching to young people.
