Chun Quoit
Trip No.10 Date Added: 19th Apr 2011
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 25th Aug 2005
Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Colossi of Memnon
Trip No.1 Entry No.13 Date Added: 20th Sep 2010
Site Type: Carving
Country: Egypt (Upper Egypt (South))
Visited: Yes on 1st Nov 1981
Colossi of Memnon submitted by AlexHunger on 4th Jan 2006. Large colosal statues of Amenhotep III (Father of Akhenaten). They were originaly carved out of one block but suffered greatly during the 27 BCE earthquake which leveled the Palace of Amenhotep II behind them and damaged many other antiquities in Egypt.
Memnon was a charachter in Homer's Illiad. The Romans though it was amusing to rename the colossi as one of them emited a sighing sound at sunrise on account of air excaping from a fissure, which reminded them of this myth.
