Alexander came here to see how the preparation for the great 'feast' that was about to take place and was quite satisfied by what he saw.
All the people seemed to walk with purpose and determination and although there was some chaos, overall the situation seemed orderly and organized, albeit a bit noisy.
Carts full of grains and firewood were being transported to each cooking station by donkeys and then dumped right on the floor.
Buckets full of water were being taken out of the jacuzzi-type pools to fill the pots, while some had run out of their pool water and were now being serviced with barrels of water drawn by donkey carts.
After each batch was done, the earthen pot would be replaced by a similar-sized one, while the former would be covered with a piece of cloth, Alexander suspected them to be curtains, and then put on carts to be stored in the temple.
