found the armchair expert!
I've been there many times over 25 years. Particularly about 20 years ago it was at the worst I saw. Massive, beautiful buildings, one i saw they claimed was close to 1000 years old, literally being destroyed for a shitty exit lane for a road. I can't even describe the scale of the loss of history the world will never see, over the recent decades.
