I’d never been there but I’m connected, as you so nicely point out, to this historic site in more ways than I know.

The loss of historic structures and artifacts like the Bamiyan Buddhas, the Parthenon, or this grand cathedral harms us all, be we atheists, protestants, Catholics, or followers of Zeus.

* The Parthenon was not lost, but was damaged during the Great Turkish War (1683-1699) when the gunpowder the Turks had stored in it was set off by shelling.
