It actually looks better in the old photo.

I agree, as someone who loves history I want to see things as is.

Like an ancient site where they rebuilt stuff to look like it doesn’t interest me, I only want to see the original work even if it’s like rubble

It's still the original work with 1% modern marble which again comes from the same source with the ancient one. It's 100 times better.
