Ancient monuments (a statue. building or other structure) often dazzle us, be it their sheer size, grandeur or age. As archaeologists, we believe that cultures with great pyramids, temples, standing stones and tombs must be highly developed. Monumental architecture is often seen as a sign of a civilization that is highly developed, having cities, a great ruler, a goverment, an army, upper and lower classes and control of a wide area of land amongst other things.
