if anyone's interested, the temple the Big Cock is in is based off of a real life ruin:
petra is an ancient city in modern-day jordan that's very notable for its strong greco-roman architectural influences despite being 1) thousands of miles away from the source material and 2) built directly into the canyon wall rather than as a complete building, like the facade it mimics. It's a real-life example of cool fantasy desert-dwelling societies. the nabateans that built it were a pretty cool culture, and they did a lot of fantasy-like things, like building massive temples into canyons, harvesting rainwater, and defeating invading enemies by knowing their difficult-to-live-in terrain well.
