Temples modelled on animal kingdom

I thought the concept of the temple being environmentally regulated to create a breathable atmosphere was rather intelligent, however, one that has been done on earth since the Triassic age. The 'pup' probes illustrated the schematic of the temple as having several chambers throughout the structure with a shaft in the centre and a spiral corridor around it. This is incredibley similar to termite nests in which the actual design of the structure is able to redistribute the balance between O2 and co2 and thermoregulation. As David says '...a superior species indeed'
