>I meant Northern Europe, of course the Greco-Romans did but they would, they lived much closer to the rest of the stone masoning world, the north never had much of a history of it to begin with other than very rudimentary structures. Roman heritage has gone there and regressed when rome disappeared and it regressed even more so in the south with the emerging of the christianity.
>They also had some issues with Jews when they made them recognise the Roman emperor as a god and killed them when they did not, not really religious freedom. It was not really literal religion thing, when you say god it's quite different from what we understand from god, if you openly show disdain to state traditions and adopt a zealous behaviour you should expect to crucified.
>Well the above point was hardly freedom of speech either. Well it is, there are lots of different thinkers who had not to interpret ancient knowledge according to state religion, there were even godless people.
>Britain both never knew and never forgot, they had historically only made simple stone structures, the Romans came and they put some stone structures up but it was not a British skill or even having the bulk of it passed on to them, however they still actually did build stone structures after the Romans left they were just rare and usually things like churches. They knew it's just it was mostly tied with roman state structure and disappeared when rome have gone.
>Well it's not like Roman itself never did anything like that(just look at Carthage)
