Imagine how different ancient architectural history would be
if there were existing records of all the 'Pagan' temples
destroyed in the name of Christianity. For example, where
exactly in Greece did the spiral columns within the original
St. Peter's Basilica (later reenacted via the baldachin by
Bernini) come from? [It was Eutropia that first told Helena
about these columns and their original locations.]
Or what would architectural history be like if all the
buildings that were ever erected on this planet were a
matter of record?
[Again, so much for (the rise in) metabolic thinking.]
