The Living Force
This is an intriguing video which supports the idea that all those ruins depicted in art from earlier centuries was artists' documentation of the results of a relatively-recent world-wide catastrophe.
The commentator makes some astute observations such as it appears there were two classes of people, well-dressed and peasants, living among the ruins; and that the pyramids depicted are among ruins featuring Roman/Greek architecture--and are of a unique angularity unlike those in Egypt.
He rightly questions how would the painter Giovanni Paolo Pannini 1691-1765 depict pyramids and a Roman stella in one his paintings when he had died 7 years before the official discovery of the Egyptian pyramids and that stella?
Enjoy!
