Reply to comment by eLonLonRanch in TIL there's a rock formation in Saudi Arabia about 6 meters high and 9 meters wide, split curiously in half and balanced on two small, natural pedestals. The origin of the Al Naslaa rock formation is unknown. by OccludedFug

Different country, buddy.

Nah. Unfortunately the saudis have destroyed many archeological sites in their own country. Including ironically in Mecca.

i get what you are saying, but if you are talking about the ottoman fortress in meccah, then i would like to argue that it is not historical.

it would be like removing the outpost of an occupier after ousting them, it is not "destroying heritage", but if you meant something else, i would love to hear more about it
