This is not sound reasoning. People put immense effort into jokes.
- pvaldes 4y agoI could be wrong, but jokes are normally limited in scope, time and place. Nobody sane would destroy an historical artifact in a sacred place and then says "just kidding, ha-haa". This looks too much overblown just for a small private amusement. It would need a stronger motivation because the consequences are real and not negligible. Is professional suicide for a restorer.
- tokai 4y agoJust the first example I can think of is this dude that spend decades of his life creating an elaborate satanic hoax. He never came clean to anybody, presumably hope the joke could go on for a long time. You also have those desert monoliths, that confused everyone recently. https://da-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Knud_Langkow?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=da&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://da-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Knud_Langkow?...
