In Response To: Re: Look at it this way... (InnerRayg)


: Hold on now, even if it is a different planet, you've got to remember these
: are still bipedal creatures who breathe oxygen and seem to have metabolic
: processes very similar to our own. Their world has got to have at least
: some structural similarities. And even if it is completely different the
: same elements would be present on their planet as on ours; and the same
: rules of physics still apply, so when building, an arch is still going to
: be a structurally sound way of constructing things no matter what the
: planet.

Normal human light levels are overly bright to the Elites. {TCP:p189} Why then is Sanghelios not a darker-looking world?

Some architecture can be similar. Perhaps walls and a ceiling or even multiple stories is supposedly common. Then again, it depends on what tools of construction would be developed by creatures whose hands have two opposable thumbs and two fingers. Perhaps they build with metal only. perhaps they craft things in only one seamless part with some fusion of materials. I would cringe if anyone in the Covenant put together structures with nails and screws for instance.

Similar is OK. Outright identification of an Earth culture attributed to an alien culture is not, IMO.
