An incongruous match.

As could be seen from an earlier image – quite a climb getting here: definitely worth the effort.

Intrigued – what are these? The little greek temple (!) seems so incongruous…age? I weep at all those buildings being smashed in other parts.

  Hi,
  The tomb is probably early Bronze Age, the shrine was constructed in the early Iron Age, on top of an early B/A cairn tomb with the remains of other tombs that are far less preserved or been re-used later in the Iron Age.
  As for the other: it is all part of the fear campaign (think 1400’s style fighting) very sad & so unnecessary !
  
  David.

    Amazing – are they uncovering the stories/the people/the history that go with these? Anywhere to find that? Yup Genghis Khan all over again.

      Hi,
      This is Oman – they never tell you anything 😉
      Have a look at the link for UNESCO:

  Thanks – I was quite pleased after all the effort getting here, although I did have a monopod which doubled as a walking pole 🙂
