Having been fortunate enough to visit some of those castles, and stand in some of those cathedrals, I absolutely understand (well, hopefully) and agree on that aspect. Not much on this side standing that would fit in the same conversation.
Though folk were here, a different attitude and culture led to different construction not so durable. Near Harold
Cannon, folk were living 10 or 11 thousand years ago, but not much left. Folk living in Upper Peninsula Michigan
were selling copper to the Egyptians long enough ago that is was found in pyramids sealed up 5,000 or so years ago.
The pyramids still stand, but nothing here to show for it.
For further perspective, I know a man, son of an Inuit shaman, psychologist, and practitioner of the ancient healing arts,
who speaks of periodically visiting with an elder in Greenland who lives in a stone house continuously occupied for
12,000 years. Haven't been yet invited to go with.
Most don't know, nor would they care. For most, Jock, your point is very well taken.
