At the top of the great pyramid there was a lot of graffiti carved in it -— in Greek, Aramaic, and Latin. It was fascinating in and of itself.

I didn't climb on the stones and I did and do think the graffiti is disgraceful.

“I didn’t climb on the stones and I did and do think the graffiti is disgraceful.”

Different issue. Back in the day, it was permitted (for a couple of dollars) to climb the pyramids.

And the graffiti was 2-3,000 years old. The graffiti itself became a historical artifact. It was cool to think I had not only climbed the pyramid, but sat where a conquering Roman Centurion had decided to carve his name.
