You make a very interesting philosophical point. I believe that despite the oppressive presence of skyscrapers, nothing can destroy the beauty and grandeur of these ancient buildings. Unlike modern structures, which are empty, devoid of art, soul, and a specific purpose beyond the economic and commercial, temples, pyramids, and other ancient constructions were built for spiritual purposes, for knowledge, culture, and so on. That's why they have withstood not only the ravages of time but also the ravages of memory. Nice painting, have a happy weekend πΈππΈ.
