At Baalbek, the scale raises a quieter question: not how—but why. At the Great Pyramid of Giza, consistency replaces the imperfections we expect from human work. Across the world, from Göbekli Tepe and Çatalhöyük to Stonehenge, Chichén Itzá, and Angkor Wat, the same pattern appears: The explanations exist. But something about the result doesn’t fully settle. In Easter Island’s Moai...
