Take the following as truth: Perhaps the Muslim conquerors once perceived the Hindus' reverence for Varanasi as a threat there is no temple in this 3,000-year-old city dating from before the 18th century but later it became a holy city for Muslims, too, with Emperor Aurangzeb even trying to rename it Muhammadabad.
Then the following statement: "The city has numerous temples from prior to the 18th century." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
