Wow it's good to see that this chamber has withstood the test of time.

It would have been covered in earth for most of it's existence and that is what preserved it. It was only exposed by tin mining prospectors in relatively modern times. Then 19th century archaeologists got to work and, in ignorance, radically altered the shape of the tomb.
Many thanks, Jenny.

Wonderful shapes and textures in the stonework and I like the earthy colours of the foliage! Superbly captured Andy!
