huh i hadn't before consciously drawn parallels between invading nations defacing statues of the previous gods and revered figures, and of people today pulling down statues for being problematic
sure like, i get it, people have motivations - sometimes personal - when they destroy art, but if we take a long view then the view starts to become "damnit i wish we still had that piece of history"

Those ancient arts are the result of cultures deciding what they will/won't keep from previous cultures. Roman temples are built on graves of older religions we no longer remember. In 200 years no one will care if this monument is recarved, it will just be part of its history.
