We live in such a degraded era that not only are our finest craftsmen unable to replicate the great achievements of the past (carving marble is all but a lost art at this point) but people no longer believe such feats were ever possible.

The whole Tartaria mythos is of a similar mindset: our culture was never capable of such beauty so all those wonderful buildings must be the product of a lost civilization. The irony is that it's basically true; those civilizations are gone, but it wasn't a mud flood that destroyed them - it was modernism.
