Cultural implications of the Last City
Although I agree with the science behind the Last City being located in Chile, I always felt the cultural element doesn't support that. We see clear preservation of various cultures within the Last City except Chile and native cultures, Festival of the Lost aside (and even then, that's a stretch).
Mulling it over, it seems native villages would have a high survivability rate due to lack of interplanetary tech sought by the Eliksni, unity of the community, regular use of localized resources for survival, and possession of firearms and other weapons/strategies for self defense. That being said, there is either a plot hole in D2, there was another genocide within D2 during golden age that isn't mentioned, or Chile isn't the location of the Last City
Many may not care about this but it would definitely add to the scope of the D2 world and lore.

It could just be a coincidence and the Last City is like Springfield in the Simpsons. It could be anywhere or nowhere. It’s location just looks cool to have a mountain next to us, and symmetrical night and day times was just to have an equal amount of both times of day so in the accelerated time of the Tower the night didn’t end in 5 minutes. I’m not saying it’s not true that the tower is in Chile. Just that sometimes we can see what we want to see. Patterns and clues where none were intended. I had always assumed the city was in Europe somewhere. Possibly Eastern Europe. Close to the cosmodrome, but not too close. Still needing flying transportation. No science behind it. Just a feeling.
