OK I'll give you that it doesn't have proper ornamentation, but it's still damned impressive they got those in place. Wonder how they did it, get the uprights in place, create a hill, and drag the lintels in place before pulling the dirt away? Maybe grab a few of the locals and get them to talk?

Then again looking at the weathering, that thing's Old. I know it's crazy talk but pyramids Old. Maybe this is all that's left of some grander thing and it's only standing because it's made of slabs the size of a market stall.

It doesn't hold a candle to Göbleki Tepe.

But where is the roof, How do they keep the rain off the sacrificial animals without a roof?
