In Vienna, Greece, one of the most prestigious stone panels called Heroon of Trysa was rebuilt after a destructive accident. The panel is made of limestone created in about 380 BC. The panels were originally built at the burial site of an honored ruler. The panel represents Greek Classical style. The reassembly of the 500 pieces took about 7 years.

I think this was a great article and really interesting. When such an ancient piece of artwork is destroyed, it really is a great loss for society. The fact that society took the effort and the time to rebuild this stone panel from the Greeks makes its importance and influence that much more apparent
