Just four days ago, a 573-year-old Daihoji Temple in Japan, filled with priceless artworks, was destroyed in a massive fire.

And yesterday (20), a 1,200-year-old Japanese Buddhist temple was burned to the ground after the ‘eternal flame’ spread, reducing it to ashes.
Watch: the ‘eternal flame’ survived wars, earthquakes, and centuries of history… only to vanish overnight.
