Those walls are just astounding. I wonder what the foundations are like — depth, width, materials, drains, etc. For the walls we can see now to have lasted thousands of years, the foundations we don’t see had to be built with enormous skill and discipline, which implies the builders already had experience going back aeons.

They probably picked a good spot — exposed bedrock overlooking the area — but yes, definitely, great skill.
