Just people doing people things. It’d have been magnificent to restore the building and repaint and keep the sculptures and artifacts there. Of course even since then there was two world wars and man it’s just tough.
So even further, why not restore some of it? We have pretty good guesses and good historical backing on what it might have looked like, why not bring these places back to that now?

Reply to comment by bastardlyann 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
