that isn’t a turtle, that is a first attempt at a submarine- made of stone- didn’t work so well- first voyage out to sea ended in failure- they left the escape hatch open

I have been to Angkor. If there is any way for you to get there, you should go. It is breathtaking.

"The bottom half of the turtle remained buried Thursday"

No need to uncover the rest... it's turtles all the way down.

The bottom half of the turtle remained buried Thursday while preparations were being made to lift it out without damaging it.

Trump's been trying to do that with McConnell for going on 4 years...
