Not having photographs of places like this is a real tragedy. Most of all i would have loved to see the great pyramids in their prime, and the city of Tenochtitlán.

Dutch scholar Olfert Dapper 1668 Description of Africa The Flourishing Kingdom: Dapper’s text and accompanying engravings depicted Benin City as a densely populated, impeccably organized urban center with broad streets, large compounds, and an impressive royal court. He noted that its palace was larger than many European city centers of the era.
