I’ve always thought that this site was abandoned at least in part because it’s *at the top of a freaking mountain*.

I’m reminded of the scene in the Return of the King movie, where the beacons of Gondor are lit, and they show the beacons as being at the top of nearly inaccessible peaks and ridgelines far above the cloud tops, instead of low hills along the front of the mountain range. I always think to myself: who are the poor bastards who have to man these almost-never-used beacons their whole lives far from civilization, just in case someone declares war.

The true reason they converted to Christianity. ;-)

I too wonder about those mountain beacons. I think those guys must spend a month there once in their army carrier, what I want to know is how the heck they got all that damn wood up there!
