Been there. Since the cable car was inoperative that day, I climbed the ramp.

I believe the original story, not the revision.

The article is interesting, and they’re not really discussing the ramp.

The circumvallation wall is the main subject, and the fact that it could have been thrown up in a matter of a fortnight is impressive.

That many disciplined, motivated, and experienced troops - I wouldn’t bet against a body like that building a ramp in much shorter time frame.
