Reply to comment by phiwong 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
To add to this, ancient buildings like the Colosseum or Parthenon requires a master skill level. You can't just have a regular guy walk in and repair. They need to be skilled in ancient busing repairs.
Its similar to old paintings. You can't just use new paint over them, you have to artificially age the paintings and crack the paint to make it blend in.
