Sigiriya, Sri Lanka...

I have seen this place before though I haven't done a page on it yet..

But today someone posted it on FB and showed THIS view

That angle struck me as looking remarkably similar to Yokagumi in Japan and Sacsayhuaman in Peru

This is a sketch of the Yokagumi site...

Terraces and steps: prehistoric rock-hewn structures at Sacsayhuaman and nearby Qenko in the high Andes mountains of Peru

All Duran Duran fans (and people like me, not really a fan, although I like some of their songs) know that place from this video. :)
