"It is but small in comparison with those of the great cities of the valley, but it is a very holy shrine; and numbers come, from all the cities round, to pay their devotion there on the days of festival.

There are forty temples in the town, on all of which fire burns night and day; but this is the largest and holiest of them." After passing through several streets, Roger saw a great hill rising in front of him.

Whether it was the work of man, or had a natural hill for its foundation, he knew not.

It was four sided and pyramidal in form.

There were terraces rising, one above the other, supported by stone walls.
