How important is the preservation of history? The physical preservation of history for instance. The other day I was watching a show about the Aztecs and later Athens and ancient Greece. As I watched these, I noticed how both Athens and Tenochtitlan (sp?) were being built over by their modern day counterparts, in this case Mexico City and modern day Athens. This left me wondering, as one who also has a habit of saving things, besides the major structures how important is the physical preservation of such sites as those really worth? And not only those specific sites, I'm talking about ancient and modern sites located all over the world.
