But how was this memory passed on in the distant past? Nearly everything we know about the past is based on the research of nineteenth- century historians. Looking beyondthat age to a more distant past, one finds a totally different world of learning. Veneration for the great architectural legacy of the past is found in the oldest European historiography.
