Eflatun Pinar: The Hittite Spring Sanctuary by Zoë Sheng

Lovely little pond made by the Hittites 3,000 years ago. I suppose it shows that they were smart to build it and use spring water to make a... fountain of sorts, if not for all the plants it would be a nice swimming pool. You can walk around the entire thing in 2 minutes, and all there is to see is the triple statue and the rock wall, as nice as it is considered the age I think a Hittite serial nomination makes more sense.
