This question crossed by mind last night, what was the worst act of vandalism to date. Because of the pre/post 1900 split in the forum I had to pick one place so I have opted for pre 1900.

So to the question, worst act of vandalism. Note I am not taking abut masss murder. Two events come to kind that surely have to on the top of the list if not on the top

  • Destruction of the Library of Alexandria (assuming it was deliberate)
  • Spanish clergy destroying Mayan texts
  • Shelling the Acropolis of Athens
OK, so what do folk think?
