Their architecture has some aztec/mayan influences. But apart from that their culture isn’t really based on a specific earth culture.

Seriously, culture wise they don’t have the equivalent on Earth, they are like a religious scientists, very rational and believe in the Eternal Alchemy.

Also, they’d have no place in a serious dungeon/fractal/ WvW group after midnight. Dem food buffs!!

The resemblance is obvious.

The only difference is that the cats are smart enough to still hide their plans for world domination.

So Scientology, just minus the rational part.

Also I’m using the term scientist extremely loosely here.

The don’t seem to be based off of anything human in particular. Probably why I like them, lol. If anything they seem to be a satire on nerd culture. Its quite a fun idea when you think about it.

The only difference is that Scientology base their science on religion, Asura base their religion on science, but yeah, I can see similarities.

One cannot say that the asura are truly based on a certain Earth civilisation; they aren’t obviously Viking like the norn or British/Celtic like the sylvari. However, they have certain elements of various human cultures, such as : the Maya (advanced mathematics, pyramids, decentralised society reminiscent of Mayan city states), Ancient Egypt (alchemy – the word itself is of Egyptian origin and that’s where chemistry was first developed – and again, pyramids), Ancient Greece and, to a lesser extent, Ancient Rome (Metrica Province, Rata Sum, decentralised society reminiscent of Greek city states), and, as has been mentioned before, China or East Asia in general (my asura has an Asian-ish hairstyle).

Trivia
Asura in Buddhism is the name of the lowest ranks of the deities or demigods of the K?madh?tu

That’s straight from the official wiki. So I guess that.
