They have been talking about stairs before, maybe this is what they meant? I find it also strange that there is not step to enter through the portal with the caryatids: who would take such a high step? Not very convenient.<br />Good question whether excavations will be stopped in winter (which is the normal procedure). A good reason to continue right now at a steady pace. Nobody really wants to stop at this stage. They did put up a roofing over the site, didn't they?Argyraspidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08284988922758243086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51559446055954584.post-37860376859000062282014-09-22T19:56:07.868+02:002014-09-22T19:56:07.868+02:00Based on the ministry drawing interpreted in a dra...Based on the ministry drawing interpreted in a drawing on the blog of Empedotimos ( http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mDsC1z_Birw/VCAvzJSmf4I/AAAAAAAAAcI/OzcJHwOmea4/s1600/x5.jpg ) seems the lintel of the door is very close to the floor (just over meter and a half). In the drawing of the ministry is also shows that the last wall descend more than the others, which means that the floor has steps or slope. Possible explanations?<br />Will the excavation be stopped in the winter?Borohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669230900195505765noreply@blogger.com
