This is of all things also adds on top. So much of ancient treasures and buildings destroyed, in the name of an imperial war covered as "civil war" for the Western public, as well as in the name of "all this crap is sin, the history of the planet is different - so our preachers told!". For the Americans, nothing is a miracle in their behavior, as habits of rewriting history as it pleases the reigning class are like something they've got many experiences with. Already started with what the Mormon religion created as "history" as part of their church. Since the settlers from Europe arrived. So it's not like something that suits them well keeping all that stuff down there alive - since also the religious part of the US also wants to preserve their story of the world creation which says it's only about 5000 years old. Doesn't suit together with buildings of humans already as old as that or even older. Also, if you don't find the right buildings in the right places for that ideaology to confirm their information.
