    Over night the temperature dropped considerably and though the day dawned bright and clear, it was markedly colder. Palmyra is an Aramaic city and was an important trade route between the Mediterranean and India and it was under the prosperity of this trade that Palmyra grew.

    Name: 22-1 Palmyra.jpg Views: 89 Size: 263.4 KB
    Pic 1. A view of some of the ruins of the huge city.

    Name: 22-2 Palmyra.jpg Views: 60 Size: 98.5 KB
    Pic 2. The four columns in this picture are made of pink granite. The granite was imported in four single lumps from the granite quarries of upper Egypt. How the hell did they do it? In Egypt they built huge barges and floated it down the Nile when in flood, but here we are in the middle of almost nowhere.

    Name: 22-3 Palmyra.jpg Views: 65 Size: 107.5 KB
    Pic 3. This guy apart from riding without due care and attention, is also on his mobile.

    Name: 22-4 Palmyra.jpg Views: 65 Size: 247.3 KB
    Pic 4. This is the Monumental Arch east gate of the city and is a double gate, the second joined to the first but at an angle of about 20o and leads to the Temple of Bel.

    Name: 22-5 Palmyra.jpg Views: 69 Size: 269.3 KB
    Pic 5. Yet another amphitheatre stage, this one being probably the most elaborate we have visited.

    Name: 22-6 Palmyra.jpg Views: 67 Size: 282.6 KB
    Pic 6. It was late afternoon and time for our law abiding camel rider to head home.

    Name: 22-7 Palmyra.jpg Views: 58 Size: 264.0 KB
    Pic 7. A last look at the city ruins for that day, note the citadel in the background on the mountain top.
