1,300-year-old structure could be a fortress, summer palace, monastery, or even an astronomical observatory. Picture: gdehorosho.ru

We’ll probably learn more about this site, now that Russia is getting back in business in defending its allies. The days of bombing Serbian kindergartens and civilian bridges, without pushback, are about over for us.

And yet the Russians are bombing Ukrainian kindergartens and civilian bridges without pushback from us. One for me, one for you...

Based on some of the pictures at the link...maybe it wasn’t a fortress, but a prison or exile location.

Playing with the numbers we come up with 86-87 acres which makes it a tad larger than Fort Courage.

...but some time after the abandonment there was another catastrophic earthquake which led to fires...I can't think of a reason that earthquakes would lead to fires in an abandoned structure.

That figure 8 structure repeats in almost every room. Those must be of some significance. I would suspect that investigating what is left in the bottom of the inside of the 8s would give a pretty clear picture of what was going on there.

My pleasure, and there’s more to come. The better stuff tends to come around after the digging season is over, and of course that happens at different times in different latitudes. :’) There’s been a real run of stories out of the neoSoviet empire as part of their peace offensive, a PR campaign to patch up relations with the world without actually making things right. This article ends with praise for Putin, and I edited it out, and then cleaned the drops of puke off my screen. This Buddhist site is has no discernable source of heat, imagine that, Buddhists must have worked only a few weeks a year for years on end just to build the thing so they could use it for a few weeks a year. /s After a few more years we may see better conclusions from this.
