If there's one thing I've learned about the Ancient Greeks, it's that you wouldn't want to hire them to do your roof.

All their roofs seem to be rubbish and crumble into nothing.

And before someone says, "That's just the impact of time. Their roofs were good in the past," I found this painting from over 150 years ago that shows their roofs were also rubbish in the past.

@LilahTovMoon wait that painting, the columns still have red paint, I'm not imagining it am I?

@LilahTovMoon just I hadn't seen anything suggesting the paint job remained into relatively recently and this is just 🧡​
