Stone Structure

The stone work used in the building of the temple is unbelievable. There is no mortar used here. All these blocks are finely cut and interlocking. One guide had told us that they would make these cuts by chiseling out a small hole, then sticking a piece of wood in the hole, add water and sand then as the wood expanded, it would crack the rock. Maybe that was done by some but it seems to slow of a process to have been used for all these cuts.

Uncovering the site

What I noticed while walking around the site is that the entire base of the temple was buried by approximately two feet of soil. If you picked any spot and dug two feet down you would most likely find something. The site is still in work and unfortunately, it seems that there is no hurry to ever finish the work. I could never be an archeologist because this is way to slow of a process for me.

Water Duct

Throughout the ruins, you see amazing water canals. I wish they would restore the water flow throughout the ruins so that you can really get a feel of the city.

Here is an example of the canals running underground and under rocks.
