And nobody knows who Mother Anthony was.

This sarcophagus is very similar to those of the Egyptian 25th and 26th Dynasty. The Phoenecians became steadily more influenced by the Egyptians on account of heavy trading activity. The stone had to be imported from Egypt and was probably carved there except for the final inscriptions.

Dun Carloway
Date Added: 8th May 2022
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
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
