Question

Ответить на вопросы, помогите, пожалуйста(((


Any appreciation of ancient Meso-America’s architectural splendor must begin with Teotihuacan, the City of the Gods. Its two gigantic pyramid temples dating from about the time of Christ, are the largest and oldest in the Americas and were models for all the rest.
For all their extraordinary feeling of design and proportion the Mayas remained hamstrung by their ignorance of the arch. This means although they could build long, they could never build high. In other situations, among other races, such a disability might not have mattered very much, but the people of the ancient Mexico, in almost all their ceremonial buildings set out to overawe if not actually to terrify. Height and mass consequently assumed vital importance, and most of their architects solved the problem in the only way they could - by means of huge pyramids crowned, as often as not, with tiny temples of just one or two rooms.

Questions to answer:
1. Why is it recommended to go to Teotihuacan?
2. What were Teotihuacan’s pyramid temples considered to be to the world?
3. What prevented the Mayas from building the arch?
4. By saying that the Mayas “could build long” does the author mean that it took the Mayas
long time to build the arch?
5. What mattered most in the Mayas’ ceremonial buildings?
6. How did ancient architects solve the problem of crowning huge pyramids?
7. Why did temples have few rooms?
