[Stones] So, is this what some think of our heritage?

Hi, perhaps we need an alternative category?

this is an ancient site - Konark, 1250~60CE - it is a
building true, but it also incorporates superb
sculpture, so if we are not going to describe this
architectural edifice as a work of 'art', then what, i
wonder?

note of caution, please: Konark contains many
beautiful sculptures, but some may find their explicit
nature offensive?
