I guess the extent of preservation is partly to do with the dry desert environment, but considering the wars that have been waged in these lands it is surprising how much has withstood plundering and robbery. Well worth a visit though. And Libya does sound incredible. Thanks Ciki and Anil for your comments.

I'm hoping to see some of the Roman sites in Libya sometime this year myself. I still find it remarkable how well preserved many of the old Roman sites are.

The history the depth of heritage - amazing. I heard that whilst the photos are glorious, it really takes the experience of standing in the center of the ruins to feel just how insignificantly small man is, compared to the Colosseum. thank u for sharing (i hope to go one day.. my parents have been but that was long b4 i started earning my own money! LOL) awesome, breathtaking. if i sat here all night, i would not find enough adjectives to describe just how amazing these architectural beauties are. The history the depth of heritage – amazing.
