Thanks-very interesting-yet another archaeological excavation showing that cities had the same problems they have now-and reinforces my decision to not live in one or shop there unless I can’t find the item out here or online...
I wonder why the people who built the dwellings didn’t figure out how to design hallways and ladders/stairs from floor to floor inside the building instead of having to climb down outside...
Common defense -- they were less worried about their neighbors than they were outsiders.
