Cool.

It's a very cool place! There are a few more of these tucked away locations we are visiting this winter. More on that as they get visited.

This place has a lot going on with it. The big one, is the added construction. You can clearly see, where the old megalithic walls have been patched up with smaller rocks, in order to re-build, the already damaged structure. I seems like, if the last inhabitants are to be given credit for all of it, that would be a false assumption. The weathering on the big blocks, is advanced. This place is too old to say, how old.

Great observation! We’ll have to start looking at different building material and style of construction. 🕵️‍♂️

@@PathstothePastPresentFuture Look at Cusco Peru. It has the same dynamics going on. Several layers, and phases of building material, and none of them, are as precise and accurate, as the original work. Devolution is everywhere, when it comes to architecture.
