  1. This is one example of why the english language causes problems for many people.  Your usage of the word  "raised"  is incorrect.  The correct word which sounds the same is "razed"  Wikipedia Dictionary defines raze as - To demolish; to level to the ground.  


  2. Razed is the correct spelling not raised.

    .

  3. the correct word is razed.

  4. I used to wonder that but it's actually razed to the ground, meaning destroyed.
