RE: The Sea Dragon Fresco from the temple of Isis. Survived the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in Pompei 2000 years ago, destroyed by government two weeks ago.
This is sad, but you can't blame centralisation. It is more mismanagement, lack of funds and no doubt sprinkled with a good dose of corruption.
The thing that saddens me most about it is the linguistics department. With the pictures, even though the originals are gone, I bet there are postcards or reprints. So people in years to come will know what they looked like.
But those sounds are gone forever, nothing will ever bring them back. Unless somebody has memorised them and can accurately recreate every recorded sound. Which is highly doubtful.
A sad day indeed 😥😪
