(162,415 posts)I've had trouble reading it because it's unfamiliar to me, but I haven't gone very far, and already the author has said that they believe some buildings they've found already have been there at least since 3100 B.C., which would make them over 5,000 years old. It also says that there are buildings much lower in the earth which have not been touched, yet, and remain to be seen later, so it looks as if there is a huge amount of digging and exploring ahead for the researchers. It would seem they have only scratched the surface up there!
Amazing......
What I have seen already is so interesting, although a lot of the words are totally foreign to me, and I will try to look them up when I have more time.

I have looked at some of the photos in google images, and they are wonderful! It's easy to see why you are attracted to such a fascinating part of the world, whose real meaning still lies ahead to be discovered again!
