Of course, there's extremists in all religions, and there are probably Christians who would like to destroy stuff they think is heretical. But they generally aren't going around killing everybody who contradicts them or criticizes them, or apostates, or just people of other religions because jihad, and they usually don't get to run whole countries, so better in that way too.

It's really the "modern" part that's the worst. Castles were built for warfare in an era that has long passed into memory, yet some people, by negligence, recklessness, or anger, refuse to let that memory live on. Grand structures built to last forever, turned to dust by idiots who see their own foolish ambitions as superseding the last remnants of the cultures of the past.

In expanding its iron ore mine in Western Pilbara, Rio Tinto blasted the Juukan Gorge 1 and 2 - Aboriginal rock shelters dating back 46,000 years. These sites had deep historical and cultural significance. And they were authorised to do so. Different kind of war, different kind of ruin. Significant history and culture still lost forever

Our Archaeo. Society did a magnetometer survey of the site of a long barrow here in the UK. The barrow was still visible in the 1930s but was bulldozed during the construction of a D Day fighter base for the USAAF. At the time, one of the local historians asked the Officer in charge if he was really going to destroy the barrow, to which he replied "Don't worry, we'll put it back after the war!"
