Very fortunate to have visited places like this in my youth. Honestly the most striking take away from this particular wonder was just how fucking foreboding it was. It looms massive over the city. Honestly it would make a 60 story skyscraper look diminutive. Genuinely impressive. Great share bud, thanks!
- It's an awesome place to visit. The Agora downhill is also amazing.
  
  I was particularly impressed by the reconstructed Stoa of Atalos.
  
  Awesome share! The weirdest thing, and I still remember this vividly, was the size and tenacity of the ants at the oracle of Delphi. Twenty-five years ago, and I still remember late teens me like, dude, I just stepped on him, and he kept rolling.
- Dang sounds like the opposite of the feeling I got when I visited Mount Rushmore. That shit was lame
