If the PTB suggested that it was a church or a mosque, I would have been like... what a cool piece of architecture. Those church builders were real skilled, and where is that construction infrastructure they are hiding from us?
But they claim it was a Dresden power plant, and the history of this building appears to confirm the claim. I think we can believe the PTB on this one. I also think that this example is an unfortunate (for them) unintentionally indoctrinated slip up. The kind which makes me think of how many technology related structures were presented to us as religious marvels.
