One of the Punic burials, which are also the oldest of the cemeteries on the site and date from the first century AD. They consist of a rectangular, open pit with built-in steps along one side for easy descent to the burial room dug underneath.


One of the olive tree's remaining from when the site was originally a farm. Yousuf said that the farmer that discovered the tombs was given a job as a watchman but else wasn't compensated for losing his land when it became an archaelogical site.


Passing by a bullet ridden cartoon mural of Gaddafi as we drove east back towards the city centre. The arabic text at top is a poem that reads:

The tent and the womb and the women know me.
Tyranny, and arrogance and injustice.

I was accompanied in the headship by the chair solo.
Until the Arabs and the non-Arabs were surprised.

Those who despise us, we have to shoot them.
With rockets, since everything after me is nothing.




Adidas & Reebok.


Mosque.


We then drove down an alley in a residential area and parked beside to what seemed like someones backyard.


Beneath the yard however was another underground catacomb looked after by a single caretaker.
