Château de Pierrefonds is proof that we can rebuild castles from ruins. It was originally built in 1407 and restored to its former glory almost 500 years later.

🇫🇷 5 mai 1821, il y a 2⃣0⃣5⃣ ans, mort de Napoléon à Sainte-Hélène. En 1938, dans La France et son armée, Charles de Gaulle écrit ces mots sur Napoléon : « Sa chute fut gigantesque, en proportion de sa gloire. Celle-ci et celle-là confondent la pensée. En présence d'une aussi prodigieuse carrière, le jugement demeure partagé entre le blâme et l'admiration. Napoléon a laissé la France écrasée, envahie, vidée de sang et de courage, plus petite qu'il ne l'avait prise. Mais faut-il compter pour rien l'incroyable prestige dont il entoura nos armes, [...] le renom de puissance qu'en recueillit la patrie et dont l'écho se répercute encore ? Nul n'a plus profondément agité les passions humaines, provoqué des haines plus ardentes, soulevé de plus furieuses malédictions ; quel nom, cependant, traîne après lui plus de dévouement et d'enthousiasme. Napoléon a épuisé la bonne volonté des Français, fait abus de leurs sacrifices, couvert l'Europe de tombes, de cendres et de larmes ; pourtant, ceux-là même qu'il fit le plus souffrir, les soldats, lui furent les plus fidèles et, de nos jours encore, malgré le temps écoulé, [...] des foules venues de tous les bouts du monde rendent hommage à son souvenir et s'abandonnent près de son tombeau au frisson de la grandeur. Tragique revanche de la mesure, juste courroux de la raison; mais, prestige surhumain du génie et merveilleuse vertu des armes ! » Charles de Gaulle, La France et son armée, 1938.

It is remarkable that the east Romans endured for so long in the face of so many powerful enemies. Their military discipline, adaptation, and refusal to break kept the empire alive for centuries. ‘Though the Byzantines suffered numerous defeats, their military record is one of the greatest in European and Asian history, maintaining the security of a state that endured continuous challenges to its territory and existence.’ ‘The Roman abilities to adapt, to learn from the enemy, and to modify their tactics were fundamental to their success. ... The survival of the Christian Roman Empire as a political and cultural entity over more than a thousand-year span bears ample testimony to the effectiveness of Byzantine strategy and tactics.’ ‘Over the course of its history, the empire fought innumerable wars against a host of different enemies who sought to destroy, plunder, or settle within its borders. ... The massive shock of the Persian conquests of the seventh century, followed by the miraculous imperial recovery led by the emperor Heraclius, who lived to see his gains unravel at the hands of the Muslim enemy, were contests similar to those that had destroyed the western Roman Empire. Despite the defeats and the loss of the greater share of their population, territory, and fiscal resources, the Romans in the eastern Mediterranean fought on for another seven centuries—a feat unparalleled in the military annals of western Eurasia and Europe.’ — Michael J. Decker, The Byzantine Art of War, p. 232-233.

The Human species has persisted for more than 200,000 years. Yet RECORDED history dates back 10,000- 12,000 MAX. You do the math. LOL
