Insofar as we all sin, we are all aliases of Satan, which is what the concept really means.

It would be and is a tourist attraction. The altar of Zeus was moved to a museum in Berlin circa 1901.
Adolph Hitler ordered the Pergamon Altar be the model for the Tribune at Zeppelinfeld in Nuremberg, used for Nazi rallies with the Fuhrer's pulpit at the center.
