Wawick,
Yes, my logic is there should be SOME evidence the AE percieved of an aerial 2D view before assumptions are made the aerial view was part of the layout process.
7,000bce? I had teh Nazca lines at 200bce and the Tomb of Emporer Qin 300bce. Where is an example of aerial view 7,000BCE? This would predate the pyramids at Giza by 4,500 years and make me dramatically alter my thought process. Please be patient and point me to a link.
My mind is not set in concrete here, I merely seek information and enlightenment.
