Le Grand Dolmen de Bagneux submitted by DrewParsons on 4th May 2010. In April 2010 the price of entry to the Grand Dolmen gardens was €3.50 for adults, well worth the cost. More than this, the site has the cafe owners as its guardians and is protected and well looked after. There is a small museum there too.

Anta do Pinheiro 2
Date Added: 10th Jun 2012
Site Type: Burial Chamber or Dolmen
Country: Portugal (Évora)
Visited: Yes on 4th May 2010
Anta do Pinheiro 2 submitted by DrewParsons on 4th May 2010. Visited in April 2010 the site has barbed wire around an enclave in front of it restricting access. The sign on the fence I later looked up in my dictionary and only meant "No Hunting", but it stopped me accessing the site. This view is taken from the road 20 metres away from where you can easily see the dolmen.

Babylon. submitted by DrewParsons on 5th May 2010. Parts of the Ishtar Gate and lions from the Processional Way are in various other museums around the world.

The rebuilt remains have little in common with the site as I knew it then. Incidentally the Ishtar Gate in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin is a wonderful site, unfortunately I took video pictures and no...
