I think that it is amazing that these temples are still
standing. They are made from sand stone and were
sculptured with fine stones and honey. Honey and
fine sand were mixed and put on hemp, to create
small saws. Hemp, honey, and sand were common
so they made cutting tools from them. They also used
a variation of the same materials to make a glue or
cement that is still holding things together today.
