Thank you for such a considered contribution. You have given me much more to ponder. Interestingly I was at the My Son UNESCO site here in Vietnam on Monday (think mini Angkor Wat) It was bombed & damaged by the Americans. Only one building at the very back of the site has been reconstructed to show what a temple would have looked like. The bomb craters have become part of the site & the story, and lush forest has been allowed to enfold & surround it.
It is a massive tourist site but does not need rebuilding. More of a Hindu-Buddhist way. It is what it is. 💚
Appreciating your thoughts.

It can be hard to let go, sometimes, and allow things to move on without trying to retrieve what was. It's a good thing to learn, though. As much as I love architecture, nothing can last forever, even mountains. It's sad when mankind's destruction ends things so soon, but nature will get there in the end anyway. Forgive and evolve should probably be the way forward.
