Reply to comment by saschaleib 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
The Parthenon was a symbol even then. Invaders stored gunpowder there because it may make some think twice.
We see this even in modern conflict. People will absolutely use mosques or other historical buildings as a disincentive to attack.
