Country: Scotland (Isle of Lewis)
Visited: Yes on 8th May 2022. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 4
Dun Carloway submitted by swatson on 28th Aug 2004. This impressive Broch is near Carloway in the west of the Island of Lewis. Sadly time did not permit detailed exploration but that's something to look forward to at a later date. There is enough of this tower standing to indicate the method and the superb workmanship involved in it's construction.

Log Text: The broch is covered in scaffolding, and the interior not accessible. Signs say ‘awaiting restoration’ but it looks like a long wait. The best view is from the south, where much of the scaffolding is hidden

Log Text: Supposedly the 'cathedral' of dolmens, the Dolmen de Dombate was looking very sad when visited in 2008. 'Protected' by wooden shutters and concrete posts, it was under cover in a makeshift marquee.
I believe things are now much improved, with visitor centre and interpretation etc., but for charm and atmosphere, there are much better sites in Galicia

Colossi of Memnon
Date Added: 1st Jul 2013
Site Type: Carving
Country: Egypt (Upper Egypt (South))
Visited: Yes on 3rd Mar 2003. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.
