The gaps between the floor and the feet of the pillars are way too wide, and
most of all way too deep; if they'd have formed at all (hey, how much weight is
resting on the things?), I fancy they should be filled with dirt.

Looks like you tried to have the floor "sink" a bit, as someone suggested
earlier, but think about why that should happen:

Abrasion from sand being blown through the building.
Abrasion from tourist feet.

Whatever you come up with, it can't possibly have affected those parts of the
floor covered by pillars carrying tons and tons of weight.
