We can't understand how they made this stuff with such basic tools and how they knew so much about astrology and so many other things back then. It is something we will probably never truly know.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-91398933997779866862016-11-27T02:19:51.529-05:002016-11-27T02:19:51.529-05:00Yep, we were well above the buildings below and ev...Yep, we were well above the buildings below and even up fairly high above the actual ground below but now scary high, plus the wall was very thick so I was actually very comfortable. If I didn't feel comfortable I wouldn't have been sitting there, I'm a little nervous like that.<br /><br />Nope don't need wings, that would take the feeling of accomplishment away from us then. However, it would be neat to soar above and get a great bird's eye view of everything. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64130366564781260692016-11-27T02:09:32.087-05:002016-11-27T02:09:32.087-05:00The car is a Logan by Dacia and is not available t...The car is a Logan by Dacia and is not available to buy in the USA.<br /><br />Difficult to say if they were "indigenous" because they are considered to be Indo-European people and were ancient inhabitants of the area. There's more info on them if you go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacians" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacians</a>.<br /><br />Actually that is one of the reasons I wanted to go to this site. I had seen a picture posted on the internet about it and it sort of reminded me a bit of Stonehenge for some reason. I love the history of Stonehenge so this piqued my interest.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44271535052258839492016-11-27T00:59:49.848-05:002016-11-27T00:59:49.848-05:00It was an interesting day!

We would have loved to have seen that one. This particular one, the archaeologists feel was the most important one.

What kind is it? The ancient site is really interesting. Were those the indigenous people of this area or some who came later. Reminds me of the Celtic sacred sites in SW England and in Ireland.
