Following up to "Marianne Kristiansen" :

It is truly amazing to be in
such a place when you know the history of it, no matter how much you see or
not.


You go for the "culture", not the sights. There's more to that than a few
rocks piled on or next to each other, there's the history, the tragic and
trivial events that happened there. If you take the time, and look past the
tourist veneer, like you did, you can see it.
