Indeed. Rather than try to cling to historical accuracy at all cost, we can simultaneously honor and remember the past while putting our own distinct mark on things. After all, one day we'll all be history too, and it would be a shame to deprive students of the past of material. :)

[Greetings to the early-internet archaeologists of the 29th century, btw.]

Even more so that notre dame has been heavily restored by architect viollet-leduc in the middle of the XIXth century. Look at this photography from 1840: the highest peak that has collapsed was not there. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathédrale_Notre-Dame_de_Par...
