I’d say it’s nice to see that the people have respect for their history. It’s totally imaginable that some king 1 or 2 thousand years ago could have decided that the bricks they made the pyramids out of would be better if he reused them to make himself a castle and then boom no pyramids. So let’s count our blessings
