497 CDXCVII. The Money Offer

Many meters before, however, at the end of the path that walked straight through the whole area, branching out to the various encampments, there was a gigantic mountain, much more similar to a shield volcano for its wide cone shape.

Two huge columns made of the same stone as the mountain had been excavated on it, reaching more than 40 meters in height, as a result of tens of years of constant work.

Above them, another important element had been obtained from the rock, namely a large horizontal beam with decorations along its surface.

In the lower part, on the other hand, in correspondence with the fake support floor of the two imposing columns, which were instead part of the mountain, a wide staircase led down, inside a cave with high vaults that followed the morphology of that colossal architectural work.
