Log Text: An amazing museum and well worth the price. I do note that due to funding reductions some galleries have been closed, I believe on a rotating basis. On the day of my visit, much of the ceramics collections, the Vase and Minor Objects Collection, were not accessible.

Log Text: The museum is relatively small but includes many exciting artefacts, most notably the Dendra Panoply. Many of the displays discuss the locations of the finds. This would be a perfect place to visit before traveling to Tyrns or even Epidaurus.

Mounds State Park (Indiana) - Earthwork D
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Oct 2006
Mounds (Indiana) - Earthwork D submitted by bat400 on 23rd Oct 2006. Mounds - Earthwork D.
"Lost" until 1988 when underbrush was removed from the site. Woods now block a clear view between the Great Mound and the center of this smaller, now shallow earthwork. The winter solstice sunset falls beyond the center of this enclosure when viewed from the center of the Great Mound. The forest debris slowly filled in the ditch within the outer embankment ring.

Mounds (Indiana) - Great Mound submitted by bat400 on 22nd Oct 2006. Mounds - The Great Mound.
View from the east with wild asters, the last flower of the season. The outer embankment wall prevents an outside viewer from seeing the central platform within. The exceptions are three dips in the embankment allowing a line of sight to the centers of three smaller earthwork enclosures surrounding the Great Mound.

Mound Bottom submitted by AKFisher on 29th Jul 2023.
Archaeological reconstruction of the Mound Bottom, Tennessee mound complex from the mound encyclopedia. The site is enclosed by a horseshoe bend in the Harpeth River with a small, narrow band of land yielding access. It is a 500 acre site that is today a state park with restricted access. It was "found" in 1804 and had 14 large platform mounds. It was constructed in AD 700 and inhabited until 1300. Some information on the site is at the Visitors Center at the nearby Montgomery Bell State Park....

Moray Terraces
Date Added: 25th Sep 2018
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 13th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Moray Terraces submitted by pab on 7th Nov 2013. Moray craters, Peru.
This series of craters was a delight. On the plateau above the Urubamba river valley, there is a series of 4 terraced craters which have been shown to have pre-Inca beginnings.
They are up to half a mile across, and over a hundred feet deep in places.
What is really fascinating is the fact that, because of their depth and orientation, there can be a temperature difference of 15 °C (27 °F) between the bottom of the craters and the tops!
The craters may have ...

Log Text: The only part of the ancient city one can easily visit today is the Hellenistic theater. There are apparently the foundations of a villa near the theater, but the site itself seems to be grown over. The city site itself is visible as a tree and brush covered high ground, but that portion is not accessible.
Outside the city one can visit the "School of Aristotle" and several tombs.
