In a country where each layer of dirt contains relics of a past age, deciding which to preserve and which to destroy is hard.  The charm of the European cities that maintained their central cities through the ages is not an attractive alternative in this age of modernization and rapid progress.  It becomes even more important to enlist the support of the most powerful leaders to keep and support not only the hugely popular sites but the ordinary evidences of daily living.</font>
