Hey, @arosebunch.
Ruins of any kind (the older the better) are among my favorite places to visit. Especially when there's not a lot of other people around so you get that sense of discovery. It is fun, as you point out, to wonder what kinds of things went on there on a daily basis.
It's too bad that things can't get preserved faster, so that vandalism is kept to a bare minimum and time is somewhat thwarted. Maybe someone will want to got to the time and effort to restore it some day.
I know people wonder what far distant generations following us will think of the civilization they unearth, much like we've done with 1,000-2,000 year old places. Hopefully, we've kept better records that can weather the ravages of time, but who knows what kind of state things will be in once another 500-1,000 years have passed.
It sounds like you had an enjoyable time there. I keep finding things I need to go visit (never going to get to it all).
Congratulations on the curie. The photos are all great and so is your commentary.
