This is a normal post 'when the area had what lots of people wanted'

This is a normal post Huge mystical significance to three of the major religious faiths of the world?
The place is littered with 'holy' places precious to all of them, that ultimately are but motes of gravel and dust

This is a normal post Haha
I was trying to sound deep and thoughtful

Some fat, bald bloke said this long ago. Carl Sagan said more or less the same thing more recently in a Pale Blue Dot:

"Buddha said: "I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasures of gold and gems as so many bricks and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as a golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the illuminated ones as flowers appearing in one's eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs as but traces left by the four seasons."

This is a normal post I heard once at one of his talks he just held up a flower for the duration
I would have angrily demanded my alms back, or something
