Recent discoveries reveal technically advanced societies that existed thousands of years before previously recognized civilizations, challenging established historical timelines. There is criticism of efforts to connect these ancient building sites to imagined religious beliefs, suggesting that such interpretations stem from modern biases. The discussion emphasizes the importance of preserving these historical sites, as future technological advancements and scientific reasoning may help protect them from destruction, citing the Bamiyan site as an example of cultural heritage lost in the early 21st century.

Amazing, yet not completely surprising, discoveries of technically sophisticated societies predating previously known civilizations by thousands of years. The nearly desperate attempts to link building sites to imagined ancient religion reeks of more recent prejudice, as if the only reason people can cooperate to build structures must be some banal sky gods.

By all means leave some areas buried. Future technology and, hopefully, advanced scientific reasoning may preserve this history from predation. See Bamiyan site built circa 6th C., destroyed early 21st C.

Parts of Britain experienced tribal rivalries/conflicts as well as invasions by the Romans, Vikings/Norsemen, Angles, Saxons and Jutes, then Normans, and various monarchs/emperors declared war on other monarchs/emperors. Seems that behavior has not ceased.
