Stairways to heaven

The inner part of the temple (Cella) is very complicated to reconstruct but with the scientific drawings Dieter is able to reconstruct even the invisible parts of the monument. The picture shows the “Thalamos” direction south where two stairways went up to the rooftop of the Baaltemple. Here 22 meters above the ground the ancient could touch the stars and celebrated holy ceremonies with an extraordinary prospect of the fertile oasis of Palmyra.
