Anthropology

Back then it was known as just Madain Saleh. Used to live in SA back in the Sixties. We actually spent a week there on a Boy Scout camp-out. They didn't protect it as much as they do today and we were all over those tombs checking everything out. we weren't destructive but we had free access to just about everything. Very impressive place.

Not far from there are Ottoman forts and train stations of the Hejaz Railway with abandoned trains. These are the same trains and tracks that T.E. Lawrence and the Arab revolt attacked. We spent a day there. I still have a piece of that rail.

Thanks for the story, took me down memory lane.
