Is that some kind of tent, or fabric covering? I am glad they are dedicated to preserving the stairs!

Me, too, BL. I'm not sure what the material is, but it looked tent-like to me.

Weather does have its say, unless pains are taken. Water can be especially damaging. It makes me wonder if such things could be done at other, larger ancient sites.

Leah J. Utas said...

I sure hope so, Messymimi.

May they last at least as long as they already have.

Aye, Hilary.
