What can you tell me about this?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 27 Aug 2020, 08:51
Last remnant of an ancient building, perhaps somewhere in the Middle East?

Good start Peter but it had a purpose. What was it?

An air vent?

No Gloria nothing as prosaic as that. Think on more esoteric lines. It's something you have come across before.

Kiln?

No Gloria. Get away from practical things. Clue, think about belief and attitudes.

I’m clutching at straws, really no idea......crematorium?

I've been reading up on Zoroastrianism recently - so I'm tempted to say a 'Tower of Silence' .
That's what I'd like to say, but I doubt it is.

Is it some sort of Folly, obviously not an English one.

Were prayers said from the top of the tower?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Collectively you are all on the right track and yes, Peter is right, prayers were said on the top. But you're not quite there yet. Think slightly eccentric... One last push.

Did they burn Presents/messages for the gods.

Did they isolate themselves at the top of the tower? Praying, not eating or washing?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

They prayed before they either jumped off or were pushed off. If they flew they would be shot down by archers if they didn't they were pure but dead. A bit like our ducking stools for witches.

Here's the next one. What is special about these buildings and where are they?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 29 Aug 2020, 10:01
Three storey so probably weavers cottages, looms on the top floor. Don't know where.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Posted: 29 Aug 2020, 10:28
The top floor was workshops, hence the large windows, and may have had looms but also other workshop activities. The important thing is who built the houses and where?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Are they over Rochdale way?

Arkwright at Cromford?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

North Street Cromford.

Stanley and Gloria are on the ball - houses built by Arkwright in North Street, Cromford in 1776. Part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. Well, that was over quickly - who's next?
