Imagine, a 600 acre temple just lost ~ but then again everybody loses stuff sometimes ~ I’ve regularly been losing socks in the wash.
I know someone who had an old dryer in her basement. When she replaced it, it had to be disassembled to get it out of the basement. Somehow socks and wash cloths had gotten out of the tub and had been partially burned underneath in the motor compartment. It was a gas dryer.
Guess we know where those socks go.
Of course, having repeated waves of conquerors sweep through the land, decimating and scattering the local population before converting the survivors to Islam might have an effect on the collective memory.
