The iconoclastic British anthropologist Lord Raglan[1] (1964: p. 142) wrote that “All temples and palaces are cosmic buildings, and a cosmic building is a microcosm of the universe constructed for the purpose of performing cosmic rites, rites designed to ensure that the activities of the cosmic powers will produce favorable results.”
