Btw. I wonder how often the elevator failed over the years and if so how people got down? ...or why they never added bungee jumping off the side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old3bob Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) how is it that this tower (finished in 1372) has not come down yet? (I'd keep my distance, not like the tourists mingling around at its base ) note: some brave but risk taking person has been going to the top and keeping the flagpole set straight .

old3bob Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) A stargate right under our noses, but only for inter-dimensional & invisible beings...or very advanced Tao bums.
