But according to the lore, all culture including the worship of the divines comes from the High Elves. So in a sense, all of Tamriels culture is a part of their culture as much of their culture paved the way for the others and is found throughout. Google Chang'an from around that time period if you think Chinese architecture wasn't advanced ~_^

As for the Altmer, ancient Greece is a pretty good comparisan, they both believe/believed everyone not them are barbarians, had their culture appropriated by the settings version of the romans, and that part from the first edition PGE about them killing their imperfect children is based on beliefs about ancient Sparta.
