Recent Excavations Reveal Many

discovered a number OF rooms, which
are apparently a part OF an ancient
temple with rooms and patios. Below
these, stairways lead to a large room
some 80 feet in length. Apparently
there are other rooms on this level
connected with one another.
These are the first su~bterranean
houses that have 10 far been found In

the little Swiss clock on the mantel
