The Parthenon was mostly destroyed in an explosion more than a century ago. Restoring it in a respectful manner would be culturally (and yes, touristically too) valuable.
- quotemstr 7y agoThe Parthenon wasn't even destroyed all that long ago --- 1687. Prior to that, it had survived largely intact. Restoring it now to its intact state would be okay by me. That said, if you want to see what the thing would have looked like intact, you can always go to Nashville [1].
