Reply to comment by phiwong in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56

So basically any historical landmark has a % chance of being a white elephant gift from a country's past to its future.
