At 8000 feet on the high central plateau of Ethiopia
Stand 11 structures carved from a single gigantic block of stone
There is no bricks mortar or lumber
Just rock sculpted into architecture
They form interconnected complexes
With associated trenches tunnels and passageways
Carved from volcanic rock
Some stand as isolated blocks in deep pits
While others have been cut into the face of a cliff
The largest structure covers about 8000 square feet
And all are at least 4 stories tall
The whole area covers about 62 acres
And is divided by the Jordan River
They are now being used as churches
Called the churches of Lalibela
Lalibela is reminiscent of the temples of India
And the ancient city of Petra
Whose old world palaces are now melted
Some to the point of being unrecognizable
The carved volcanic rock is also like Easter Island
Whose 1032 Moai stand up to 70 feet tall
Their heads were crowned with a Pukao
Which is made of red scoria
A Pukao can weigh up to 11 tons
Scoria is an igneous rock similar to basalt and andesite
Easter Island was recently hit by high energy
Which irreplaceably damaged many Moai
Breaking their crowns
And making them look smaller
The burning of stone that cannot burn unless hit by high density laser weaponry
Reminds one of the Notre Dame fire in Paris
And the extravagant palace like Borson building in Copenhagen that was damaged this year
Both were hit on April 16
Khara Hora is the underground section of what was once an enormous pyramid
In the North Caucasus Mountains of Russia
It has colossal shafts that go down 350 feet
Which then divide into narrow passageways that go down a lot further
The walls are exactly parallel and are polished
They have straight edges
The perfectly rectangular blocks are an estimated 200 tons
The underground tunnels are similar to the tunnels under the Great Pyramid at Giza
But on a much larger scale
This hidden pyramid reminds one of the Bosnia Pyramid
And the pyramids of China
That were covered with dirt and planted with trees
To hide their enormous stature
And incredible architecture!
