The Shrine of Ise in Japan is rebuilt every twenty years. A construction company with a family history going back for centuries builds a copy on lot 2, then they tear down lot 1 and wait another twenty years. It’s been preserved like this for over a thousand years. This is the only way to do something “permanently”.



Tell that to the Romans :)
