Just a few photos as we tootled along. It’s mind boggling to think they build this by piling in millions of wooden stakes until they reached clay. They don’t rot because there’s no oxygen. Then think: exactly how and who did the piling? From what? And why? I know the answer you read is “ good defensive position”. Like castles, why don’t the opposing side then just go around and thumb their noses at the ones inside?
It was a fun tour: a great perspective and a sense of scale of this place. UNESCO I wonder? I bet there is a waiting list to be a UNESCO inspector: tough job, someone has to do it.
