We got to visit the Barbar temple on Sunday- it is so ancient! Thousands and thousands of years old- the first approx. built in 3000 BC. They don't know what gods it was dedicated to- but suspect it was a god of fresh water- Enki- and his wife. It was actually three different temples, build at different times / phases around a natural spring. Interesting!

that is interesting! I love to see things like that. I misread and thought you'd written "babar temple" as in the cartoon elephant, and thought you saw a big mansion there that looked like their castle. :) hahaha, this pregnancy has got to end before i lost all my brain cells!
