Thank you, Rich and Jacques. It should look old and historic: It was built in the 8th century! It is believed to be the first temple built out of blocks of stone, rather than carved into a single block.

Cheers, Marilyn

It doesn't look like it could be real, the carvings are so intricate. I especially like the stone sheep guarding the wall! They look well-worn by the wind.

Greetings, Ryan

Thanks, Ryan. It's amazing to think that this has stood up to the elements of wind and storm for well over 1200 years!

Greetings, Marilyn
