Roque Bentaiga
Trip No.3 Entry No.25 Date Added: 22nd Jan 2025
Site Type: Cave or Rock Shelter

Roque Bentaiga submitted by CoppellaiaMatta on 16th Jan 2025. Pic taken from the Almogarén on Roque Bentayga, looking back at the top of the Roque.
Standing on the platform of the Almogarén I felt as if I was on the bridge of an immense and steady ship; the little mound with its cave was the bow and the top of Bentayga the sails behind me. Around me, thanks to the steep drop of the mountain side, I could imagine a deep sea, made of air, separating me from the "coast" of the volcanic caldera of Tejeda. It's a beautiful spot, it filled me with a long la...

Sakkara Pyramid
Trip No.3 Entry No.4 Date Added: 24th Dec 2024
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Egypt (Lower Egypt (North))
Visited: Yes
Sakkara Pyramid submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Mar 2006. The world's first large stone structure built under Pharao Djoser founder of the 3rd Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
Under the Architect Imhotep, the original small mastaba was expanded in all directions to a height of 62 Meters, a length of 123 Meters and a width of 107 Meters. The stone blocks are much smaller than those of the later pyramids.
The pyramid had a casing eventually, though this is now lost.
There are numerous passages under the pyramids where a mummified leg bone of Djoser was ...

'The relief stern of a warship (triemiolia) served as the base of a bronze portrait statue of Hagesandros son of Mikion, whom the Lindians honoured on the occasion of a naval victory of the Rhodians. The stern of the warship, which preserves traces of red pigment, is rendered in detail, with the aphlaston at the right end and the richly bedecked captain's seat in the form of a bird's wing.

Log Text: A visit to this temple can be part of a round trip through some of the amazing cultural and geographical variety India has to offer, with the hill station Shimla as starting and finishing point. I did it using public transport a long time ago.
From Shimla, overnight journey to Manali. From there buses leave towards Spiti Valley, where people greet you with a jole' rather than the normally more common namaste.
First stop once over the Rohtang Pass: Kaza, a green oasis at the feet of immense snow capped mountains. Around Kaza it's possible to visit the picturesque Ki Gompa and Tibetan style villages like Kibber. Driving on, a stop at Dhankar monastery is a must, it was built almost 1000 years ago on a rock cliff dominating the valley and the confluence of its two main rivers. Then on through the lunar landscape to Tabo, a village built near the caves where Buddhist monks used to retreat. At the town monastery, built in 996A.D., I admired what I consider the best (although quite damaged) Buddhist paintings I've had the chance to see.
On to Kinnaur district then! The mountain sides there are lush with vegetation, so many orchards! A stop in Kalpa to admire the view over the sacred mountain Kinnaur Kailash, and from there it's possible to continue towards Sangla, Kamru (with its own wooden tower at the main temple) and the border town Chitkul. Saharan is the last stop before journeying back to Shimla. There the hills are covered in woodland, the low clouds can't hide the vibrant colour of the Hindu temples nor the spires of the Christian churches. Shimla can easily be reached from Delhi by car, plane or taking the tourist train that runs up hill on a narrow gauge track.

Sneferu's Bent Pyramid
Trip No.3 Entry No.4 Date Added: 24th Dec 2024
Site Type: Pyramid / Mastaba
Country: Egypt (Lower Egypt (North))
Visited: Yes
Sneferu's Bent Pyramid submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Mar 2006. Sneferu's second attempt at building a proper pyramid. Half way through construction, he changed the angle from 54 degrees to 43 degrees. It was first believed this was to avoid having the casing collapse like at Meidum, but now it is thought the weight of the material was causing cracks in the chambers. The reduced angle reduced the amount of material piling up on top. There are entrances to the North and to the West for the two corbelled chambers.
To the South, there is a small pyramid for S...
