The stones so beautifully fitted and bizarrely angled, you’d think some race of super-beings lived here. We know that’s what the Greeks thought of the polygonal walls that they came across when founding ancient Greece. They said of these walls, that were already ancient in their time, that they were built by the ‘Cyclops’ or a giant race of super men with either 1 or 3 eyes – thus the are called ‘Cyclopean’ walls.
