is there easier than ensuring those ancient stones once guarded and periodically maintained by a small team of workers?.

suddenly, reality haunts you, inviting to take actions worthy of the reputation of the place and reflecting on your responsibility in relation to a legacy that has been neglected.

from one priority to another without experience, and working with fear in order to avoid mistakes.

from one matter to another, calmly, or in urgency.

the activity tends to lead to emergencies and many errors that usually coincide with important cultural activities.

attempts to complete archaeological inventories, restorations of some archaeological parts, covering mosaic panels, arrange the archaeological tools, improve their display while trying to preserve the spirit a of the initiators, the formation of a basic documentary fund to use it in academic work, especially the pursuit of the renovation of buildings.
