some sentiments are eternal

The Middle Persian Inscription from Meshkinshahr translates a section of a fourth-century Persian inscription as:

Now, the prince, grandee, or freeman who may come along this road and whom this castle may please, then let him say a blessing for the soul of Narseh-[the builder]! You whom it may not please, then you make a castle better than this!

He's not wrong! I have definitely never built a castle at all, much less one better than this!

I now want to see a time-travel duel between this castle architect and Vauban!!! It would be epic!!!
