History Ramble: All That is Lost
from Western Civ · host Adam Walsh
The recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria destroyed a large portion of Gaziantep Castle in Turkey. This site dated back to the Second and Third Century CE to the never-ending wars between the Romans and Parthians. Seeing the footage of the destruction, I was reminded how fragile history can be. We need to work to preserve sites like this so that they are not lost because once they are lost, we cannot get them back.To donate to UNESCO's efforts to preserve sites like this, click HERE.
