   Those temples were amazing!
   
   I look at something like that and think of the time, energy as well as creative talent that was involved in their creation.  I can only imagine the planning involved as well all the logistics it required to make such a temple a reality.  They were made without many of the modern tools we have today.
   
   Very impressive!
   
   I really enjoyed reading your article and looking at the pictures.  Thanks for sharing.
