It was important to whoever made it and pretending it’s not is what is stupid. It’s art and a historical treasure and it should be respected. The constitution is more important, yes, and I don’t want to see it vandalized either.
If I carve my name in a tree, does that mean the tree should never be cut down? Can everyone start gouging their graffiti into the rocks at national parks, would you be OK with that?
If you had something smart to say, then yes, I would say save the tree. A person is not a culture. Should we destroy film, photographs, paintings, books, because a single person made them? No. Those rocks are how that culture told stories and passed along information to the next generation. And the one after that. Just like WE DO. Again, it’s important to preserve such treasures and it’s important to view them as such.
No, that's stupid.

With the price of lumber? Cut that shit down!
It’s important to preserve history but you can’t claim mountains because of some random drawings. At some point, you’ll be preserving everything.
So the standard of whether a person's graffiti should be protected is whether or not it's "smart?" How "smart" is the petroglyph in this picture?
If the tree survives a hundreds of years and the engraving was still intact then yes I would expect them to preserve it.
Like, wtf kind of question even is this?
