I'm sorry, but that's a terrible perspective. Just in the last few months, I've run into issues in finding original texts for archaeological records from Iran and Iraq site digs from the 19th century. The archaeologists published books with artifact photographs, but it's extremely difficult to find the books because they're out of print. Because of wars and looting [0], many of the physical sites and structures are gone. Hundreds of thousands of artifacts have been looted.

There used to be web sites that also had the images, but those sites are now gone. The sites have also been removed from archive.org, too. Luckily on Anna's Archive, I found a digital scan of one of the books, but it's partially corrupted.

There is serious money being spent by powerful people to erase history. I can't see how anyone who values truth be ok with that.

[0] an interesting and unknown fact is that immediately after the start of the U.S. gulf wars "professional looters" came in with heavy equipment and dug up some sites 10 meters down. Apparently, you can see the damage from satellite photos, but I haven't checked.
