"The guide leads me through dozens of ancient ruins. Up old stairs constructed of worn-out sandstone, everything weathered, everything somehow very much alive. It must be that it’s a result of the trees growing into and out of the rock. A mix of nature’s eternal qualities and man’s eternal attempts to control it. Around each corner is a new treasure, something that defies logic: large faces made from stone protrude from a temple fence; an ancient gong in front of a wall of what looks like hieroglyphics. How could people create such grandiose beauty with such primitive tools."
--Look For Me There, Chapter 11
