About 5m high, this tee shape is the central feature of every one of these buildings, which are assumed to be places of worship and sacrifice. Its known as a Taula or table although far too high for such use, by anyone other than the legendary giants who lived here pre-the great flood.

This is a store room, attached to one of the bigger houses. Two central pillars (one obscured) hold up the large flat rocks that form the roof. About 3m wide x 6m long x 2.2m high. Surprisingly cool inside. Around 3000 years old.

Inside the underground burial chamber. Quite large 2-2.2m high maybe 10m long. What looks like a small crypt in that rear cavity...or maybe something to contain fluids or burial dressings. Not really known as excavations not yet studied...

Not only a pianola, but a string octet as well, plus percussion in there somewhere too! All run from thatscroll of paper centre front. The circular band at centre of violins is the "bow", and spins faster and slower for effect. The violins themselves move outward to touch the bow to play each note, which is determined by the little metal fingers on each violin. Curved cabinet doors close over the violins when not playing. Crikey!

There's pretty much a whole orchestra in this one. Again, controlled only by that roll of perforated paper...
