So they press on, they go past the Sun Temple, they go past another of these convents, and they emerge into this main square of Kaimaka.

Now, very important for people to get this into their heads.

This square is surrounded on three sides by these kind of long, low stone buildings, which were basically, they're 200 yards long, and each of these buildings had about 20 doors in it.

And basically what they were, they were called kalankas, and they were used as dormitories for people who came through the town

to work in the kind of labor gangs or in the army, or even pilgrims arriving for religious festival or something like that.

They're there surrounded by these long low buildings in the middle of this square.

And there's no one else there.

And it starts to rain.

And they say, well, let's go into these buildings.

And they go and take shelter in the barracks.

They have a little council of war.

And they're all very nervous.

You know, there's no one here.

What's going on?

I mean, how could you not be nervous?

Of course.

I'm not knocking them.
