The remains of the chamber look pretty much destroyed, treated massive with explosives. It was a chamber with five orthostats on each long side.
One part of a blasted capstone shows some cup marks.
(That stone is in the lower left corner of this pict. The cup marks are eroded and hard to see) |

(2009-06-09) | :-P Of course it is in the lower right corner. Must have been too tired.

(2009-06-09) | ;-) I also like to mix up "Left" and "right" sometimes. But now I am slightly disenchanted: I already thought I discovered some more cup marks. | holger rix
(2009-06-09) | One more note: Those marks are not mentioned in the Atlas. By coincidence I bought the 'Tempel der Ahnen' book last weekend, there I found a picture that showed this stone, with a note about the marks. Johannes Groth seems to be very lucky, or patient enough, or both, to get pictures with a perfect light. (Same as you I must admit)

(2009-06-09) | Should be 'Johannes Groht', sorry. | Martin L
(2009-06-09) | It's a great book, isn't it? After Krautrock told me, that he bought one at the begin of this year I looked for it. Originally I thought it was out of print. But then I realized there are now several offers even for a reduced price. I was lucky to get one a few weeks ago. And thanks for your very kind compliment :-) I guess we all try to show the beauty of the sites and/or the construction details of the monuments. |
