Reply to comment by futuraprime in eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56

Great answer. I was going to give a similar one so was looking for this. Specifically around earthquakes and the stealing of material. Metal and bricks were absolutely stolen from the colosseum and forum etc.
