Huaca Rajada
Date Added: 24th Sep 2018
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 4
Log Text: The civic center associated with the famous "Lord of Sipan" tomb finds. Visible are the large adobe pyramids, and a burial platform. The tombs found in the burial platform remain open and contain simple reproductions of the tomb finds as well as signage describing the tombs.
The pyramids themselves are dramatically eroded, but careful examination shows the adobe brick structure. A nearby museum describes the Moche culture and multiple noble burials, but the finds from the tomb of the "Lord of Sipan" himself are in the museum of the Royal Tombs innearby Lambayeque City. Please visit here as well you show your support of the local village and the vendors who work near the museum.

Log Text: A site with many, many individual glyphs. Take binoculars to better appreciate the art, which includes both representational figures and those that appear much more abstract.
A very well presented site with easy access on a flat quarter mile sand, gravel and concrete footpath. (Wheel chair access with minor assistance is possible on the trail.)

Log Text: On a whim, we turned off the highway when we saw a sign, and then we kept following signs until we arrived. An interesting combination of the tomb and the wind turbines beyond it, I was impressed by the local sense of ownership. In addition to access and a place to park there was a low table for picnics complete with a flower arrangement.

Log Text: Used the mound as a backdrop for a series of photographs I took leading up to the total solar eclipse at 1318, 21 Aug 2017. On a previous visit it appeared that a farm road north of the mound was the closest access point (one could drive as far as the railroad,) but the county road south of the mound is a far better view point.

Country: Wales (Powys)
Visited: Yes on 1st Aug 1985. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
Maen Llia submitted by cerrig on 23rd Jun 2015. A real life manifestation of the stone 'going down to the stream for a drink' - or its shadow at least! Not quite the solstice , a couple of days late . Kite aerial photo of the sunset shadow , and Maen Llia's new enclosure . No expense was wasted on the planning or erecting , a very frugal venture .

Chysauster Fogou submitted by enkidu41 on 26th Apr 2004. SW 4720 3483
Only 2 roofing lintels remain of this fogou associated with Chysauster Courtyard House village. The English Heritage response to the cost of restoration is sadly predictable.
