Thank you, Jaap! It's a highly interesting place. As usual, the museum is presented so much better than in Germany. Using beamers to bring colour to the excavations is a stroke of genius.

Thanks a lot, Andy! I think bits of it were known for a while but they keep finding more and more.

Yes, when I studied history many years ago, I don't think the extent of the place was known.

Wie kommen diese fantastischen Farbspiele zustande? Das wirkt so abstrakt, dass man erst mal sortieren muss.
