At the Made-Rite in Greenville, Ohio. For some strange reason people put their gum on the wall of the restaurant - and have done so for years. YUCK!
You would come across the remains of huge fortification walls at a number places in Hampi. This had been primarily built as the protection barrier to a wealthy capital area.
It’s estimated by the archeologists that the city had as many as 7 concentric layers of walls around it. The outermost being about 15 kilometer from the center of the city. Now much of all these only exist in the archeologist’s conceptual plans. However portions of the innermost ones are relatively intact. This 32 kilometer inner fortification practically envelops the Royal area and the Islamic quarter of Hampi. On the ground the scattered portions of these walls may appear disconnected. But if you glance at the map the fortification plan is evident.
This is a good view of the city walls, and shows the north gate and gatehouse, the old wall continuing up the hillside, and our hotel.
