Explanation:

Though early Vedic period was marked by less materialistic accomplishment, towards later Vedic development of Agriculture led to material progress. So it is hard to tell about the architectural accomplishment of the entire time period. Though destruction during war may be a potential reason, but it cannot fully explain the complete absence of any architectural remains. Lack of knowledge in stone and mortar resulted in most of the structures being of wooden, which could not survive through the change in climatic condition and physical wear and tear.
