AL-BARA,Idleb,Syria
After humble beginnings in the 4th century AD, Al-Bara grew into one of the most important centers of wine and olive oil production in the area.
Surrounded by rich, fertile land and situated along the north-south trade route between Antioch and Apamea, Al-Bara prospered and grew, even after the trade routes shifted in the 7th century and most other settlements were abandoned.

Constructed in 2570 BCE. The section on top is part of the original sheathing. The pyramids were covered in a smooth layer of granite or high quality limestone which made the pyramid shine in the sunlight.

I flew on the first KC-135 to have rollers installed for moving cargo. We flew from Altus AFB, OK to Cairo West, Egypt. Upon landing the plane broke so badly, the crew had a week to go anywhere we wanted. It was awesome!
The day was perfect. I like the cloud shadows in this photo.
Mud-brick pyramid in Tucume, Peru.
Archeological excavation sites are covered with roof.
Tucume, built in 1100 AD, is one of three pyramid cities. The site was an important population center for the region as the final capital of the Sican culture. It was later incorporated into the Chimu realm around 1350 AD and then finally absorbed by the Inca Empire a hundred years later.
Unlike Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, these pyramids were built of adobe bricks, which have been deteriorated over 1000 years. Just looking at a glance, these seem small hills. Looking more closely, individual bricks are visible.

The famous pyramids of Giza, located next to Cairo, Egypt. Lit up at night for a presentation and light show, the pyramids are incredibly impressive, day or night.
