In 1836, Pugin published Contrasts, a polemical book which argued for the revival of the medieval Gothic style, and also "a return to the faith and the social structures of the Middle Ages".[
... ... ...
Pugin contrasted a medieval monastic foundation, where monks fed and clothed the needy, grew food in the gardens – and gave the dead a decent burial – with "a panopticon workhouse where the poor were beaten, half starved and sent off after death for dissection.
... ... ...
Pugin's notion was that Gothic was Christian and Christian was Gothic ... It became the way people built churches and perceived churches should be. Even today if you ask someone what a church should look like, they'll describe a Gothic building with pointed windows and arches. Right across Australia, from outback towns with tiny churches made out of corrugated iron with a little pointed door and pointed windows, to our very greatest cathedrals, you have buildings which are directly related to Pugin's ideas.

Edward King, Viscount Kingsborough (16 November 1795 – 27 February 1837) was an Irish antiquarian who sought to prove that the indigenous peoples of the Americas were a Lost Tribe of Israel. His principal contribution was in making available facsimiles of ancient documents and some of the earliest explorers' reports on Pre-Columbian ruins and Maya civilization.
... ... ...
In 1831, Lord Kingsborough published the first volume of Antiquities of Mexico, a collection of copies of various Mesoamerican codices, including the first complete publication of the Dresden Codex. The exorbitant cost of the reproductions, which were often hand-painted, landed him in debtors' prison.

Robert Benfer, an archeologist at the University of Missouri, has found "the oldest 3-D statue" in the Western hemisphere. It's 4,000 years old and part of a Peruvian temple complex devoted to agriculture and the Zodiac cycle:

The sacrifices may have been associated with rites of ancestral renewal and agricultural fertility. Moche iconography features a figure which scholars have nicknamed the "Decapitator"; it is frequently depicted as a spider, but sometimes as a winged creature or a sea monster: together all three features symbolize land, water and air. When the body is included, the figure is usually shown with one arm holding a knife and another holding a severed head by the hair; it has also been depicted as "a human figure with a tiger's mouth and snarling fangs".

"Hidden In Plain Sight": Mushroom Symbolism in Art and Archaeology, is a research site dedicated to the author's father Mesoamerican archaeologist Stephan F. de Borhegyi, who proposed a theory over 60 years ago of a Hallucinogenic mushroom cult among the ancient Maya of Guatemala and Mexico. Borhegyi based his theory on his identification of a mushroom stone cult that came into existence in the Guatemala Highlands and Pacific coastal area around 1000 B.C.E., along with a "trophy head cult" associated with ritual decapitation and human sacrifice, and the pre-Columbian ballgame (Borhegyi de, S.F. 1957, 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965a, 1965b). The author's discovery, of the Fleur de lis symbol encoded in pre-Columbian art as a symbol of immortality, has lead the author to conclude that, in addition to the ancient mushroom cult first proposed by the author's father, other Old World traditions migrated to the Americas long before Columbus.

BREAKING THE MUSHROOM CODE
by Carl de Borhegyi
In 2007, when I began searching the Justin Kerr Data Base of Maya vase paintings for mushroom imagery, one of the first Maya vase paintings I found with encoded mushroom imagery was Maya vase K1490. This Late Classic Maya vase painting (600-900 C.E.) from highland Guatemala, was like a Maya vase "Rosetta Stone"

Huaca El Brujo (or Cortada/Partida) and Huaca Cao Viejo (or Huaca Blanca) were built by the Moche sometime between AD 1 and 600. Huaca Cao Viejo is famous for its polychrome reliefs and mural paintings, and the discovery of the Señora de Cao, whose remains are currently the earliest evidence for a female ruler in Peru.

she was only in her late twenties when she was buried with as much pomp as her people could muster. Three sacrificed retainers went into shafts near her. The lady herself was wrapped in a many-layered bundle of cloth and mats, in all 120 kg of stuff, that took the archaeologists over 6 months of careful work to disassemble. Her bundle was surrounded by 11 pots and another human sacrifice. It included two large wooden war clubs, dresses, gilded sheet copper headdresses, necklaces of crystal and hollow gold beads, golden ear spools,
