unaltered
Left completely alone
Unaltered means unchanged, remaining in the original state without modification.
Documents, photographs, or records that are unaltered haven't been edited or tampered with: The contract remains unaltered since we signed it.
The word often appears in contexts where authenticity or preservation matters: an unaltered vintage car, historically unaltered architecture.
