The big reveal.

Our guide puts his hat on a little carved rock in the wall. "Stare at this rock. It's a magic rock. Now back up while staring at this rock." We take steps backward slowly. Eight or so steps later, "Now turn to your left". This is what we see after walking down this narrow passage for the last half hour....
This is the 'Treasury'. It became famous in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.











Check out the amazing preserved detailing.







You can get a sense of scale here. It's about 5 stories, maybe 6, tall. The little black figure on the stairs, in the middle, is a person.
