So when we come to conquer your home province, we should prepare for a long and hard siege?

Hmm. I googled "peg castle" and this was the result

Really goddamn huge image changed to link

Don't inline massive images like that. They are too disruptive. ~Edi

Why do we need to see that picture in 2300x3500 resolution, again?

Not that I'm complaining, as I just happened to need a reference image and this works fine, but I don't usually come here to look for high-resolution images.

Expanding on and combining Omni's and Amorphous explanations, a Tell city is indeed the term used for cities where new constructions were built and rebuilt on top of the remains of the older cities, thus effectively forming a hill in a formerly flat landscape.

A famous example is the Mythological Troy which, if I recall correctly, was found to be on the 7th or 9th layer of out of a total of some 20-odd cities built on top of one another. Can't remeber whether it was 7th/9th from the top or the bottom though.

This is a very common occurence throughout ancient times in the Middle east, starting from the very first cities built (All right, from the very second ones, which were built on top of those very first ones.) untill... and this is where my historical knowledge fails me, but if I were to hazard a guess I'd say till roughly 300BC. (I can imagine the various Persian civilisations still doing it, but Alexander had a penchant of building brand new cities, possbily next to older ones, but not on top of them I believe.)

And this concludes today's lecture...

I'll second the "Don't post huge pictures for no particular reason." It makes the posts stretch out and become unreadable.

Shrink the picture or link to it if you really feel the need.

Normans also built forts over each other when they invaded England in 11 century, mostly over Roman forts.

that's because you can only edit posts w/in 30 minutes. which doesn't explain why you posted such an abomination in the first place. Please pm a mod to get it fixed.
