Not to say anything nice about the Venetians, but damn, why were they using it for a powder magazine?

For those who haven’t watched RWBY, this character immediately follows this up by trying to nuke his own people. Man did volume 8 ever suck.

The meme is funny but in reality, caring about historical sites is a more recent thing. Like Victorian era recent. The Acropolis was a defensible position during a siege and had enough things around that could be used as fortifications. And to point out that this wasn’t just an Ottoman thing, a lot of Roman buildings in Italy were also used for building material. People didn’t really care too much back then and were a lot more resource constrained.
However, converting any famous building to a mosque was pretty much a core Ottoman thing. Ottoman conquest strategy: Conquer -> do a prayer in the most famous location -> leave.

Honestly, the Parthenon is on the Ottomans. Other things we can blame on Venice, but seriously, if you militarise something it’s your fault when it gets shot.
