Later the King

Going abroad through his new kingdom, the King came upon the Temple of the gods of Old. There he found the roof shattered and the marble columns broken, with tall weeds growing in the inner shrine. The gods of Old, bereft of worship or sacrifice, were neglected and forgotten.

The King's Inquiry

And the King asked his councillors who it was that had overturned this temple of the gods or caused the gods Themselves to be thus forsaken. And they answered him: “Time has done this.”
