Why not just knock it down and put up a McDonald's?
Among other reasons, it's there because it's historical. A testament to a lost time. I would argue we should maintain it's current state, but I'm hesitant to say we should rebuild. Everything done to these monuments throughout history stands as a reminder of the time, and will continue to stand as a reminder of time after should it continue to change.
We don't need the space for anything. If ever there comes a time when we do then taking it down or even rebuilding will just add to the site's rich history.

Reply to comment by PickledSpace56 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
