Hi @jessestlouis for taking me on the tour of the Sanctuary of Truth. Amazing place. It'd never thought it would be made of wood. And you are correct that the elements will, over time, erode this beautiful place. That' why the constant reconstruction.
The entry cost is extremely reasonable after seeing the inside of the Sanctuary. You can almost feel the rich history and feel of elegance and mystery of the place. What meanings the statutes hold is what I always think of how are they relevant to the time period in which they represent. Most definitely a cultural icon to be preserved.
