![]() ![]() Airborne laser scanning (LiDAR) has revealed entire cities that were previously unknown and a complex urban landscape with highways and waterways, profoundly transforming our interpretations of the development and supposed decline of Angkor. ts and scholars, but our knowledge has now been completely revolutionized by cutting-edge technology. A great deal was already known about the history of Angkor and the brilliant Khmer civilization that built it thanks to pioneering work by archaeologis. The ancient city of Angkor in Cambodia has fascinated scholars and visitors alike since its rediscovery in the mid-19th century. Angkor and the Khmer Civilization (Trade Paperback / Paperback) ![]() ![]() ![]() So I'm leaning towards the interpretation that they actually are just regular sundials, though the satellite idea is pretty cool to consider. Some readers have interpreted these as actually being defunct satellite dishes, which would explain their tilt, but I'm not sure about this because satellite dishes have a concave shape while sundials are usually very flat, so I don't think the same object could function as both. Severian describes the Atrium as being full of sundials which are tilted at strange angles. Some people have suggested that it is a location similar to the "Last House" from later in the series, which is somewhat separate from normal space/time and can only be arrived at by following specific directions. First of all, Severian only enters the Atrium through a maze of tunnels underground, and is unable to find it any other way, which is strange because it should be visible from some of the towers in the Citadel. This is a very confusing part of Book of the New Sun and I've heard some contradictory things on this subject. ![]() ![]() ![]() They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the ruthless Marauders-the German Army led by Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer.

All the Miss Marple films with Joan Hickson are all good but there are certain ones that stand out from the bunch, certain ones that are more memorable and in my book are really, REALLY good (top-notch) such as A Murder Is Announced, The Body In The Library, Nemesis, At Bertram's Hotel, and Sleeping Murder. Other actresses who played her has paled in comparison and not only that but the BBC productions of the novels are exactly in the spirit of Agatha Christie's books and though there are certain scenes that are changed and omitted from what Christie originally wrote, the changes are not a travesty as the newer ones that Geraldine McEwan or Julie McKenzie has done. Joan Hickson is the best and the definitive Miss Marple in my book. ![]() ![]() ![]() It makes you laugh and cry, love and hate. ![]() Highly recommend it!" - ***** Reader review "Every book in the series has you on the edge of your seat.
