And one person specifically saying that it's not important that they can look at pictures and determine things for themselves. And you're wrong. you're absolutely wrong. You get a greater sense of perspective. You understand things better. You're seeing things in person. And I encourage anybody that's able to, to do it, to go see things in person. If you can, if you have the opportunity, do it.

Because it will change you. It will change your perspective on the world and things. And you're right, it is depressing. But it does give you a greater understanding of how important it is to question everything, to document things when you can, because they're not going to stay the same.

The Sphinx that I've seen in my lifetime is not going to be the same Sphinx that the next generation is going to see. unfortunately. And for people who decide to, somebody out there maybe seeing this episode and decides that they want to go see Longyu Caves and explore China, it's going to be a very different China than the one that I saw just five, six years ago.

The more practical thing to do is to leave all these sites in the state that they're in. I fail to see how reconstruction Chichen Itza is from archeological perspectives provides us any benefit at all. There's no archeological, what is the archeological benefit of building on top of that site or encasing the Sphinx? Yeah, just tourism.

What is the, and I'd love for somebody in the archeological community to please answer that question. What is the archeological benefit of encasing the Sphinx in modern stone? What is the benefit to that? Well, it's only money. It's only turning it into a more appealing visual tourist attraction. That is it.

Because if archaeologists really cared about these sites, they would be fighting against restoration in the terms of encasing these places in stone, changing the structure and the shape in which they're found in, recreating and rebuilding them into some approximation of what they think it used to be. And not taking the time.

If they said that they were halting excavation at Gobekli Tepe to slow down the process and look at every single pebble individually and try to place them together so that they were actually genuinely recreating the site, that'd be one thing. But they're not doing that. That's not what's going on. They're controlled by money and it's about money.
