6- I
didn’t know anything about this place, I’ve been always interested by
archaeological sites, and this new discovery it’s a fantastic thing to know
about. I love visiting these ruins and that's because I'm interested in the archeological places. This place gives me the insight into the site's history and displays artefacts found there.
