Ancient Graves

Buwa, North of Fanja
A very very special place

How old are the graves?
Who were they?
Where did they go?

I saw these on 17th March 2011, so many of them. They have survived 1000s of years, untouched by modern times. But I don't  know if they will be there when I go again. The entire place around shows signs of quarrying. I'm not sure the yellow cranes will know what they are going over when they come looking for 'precious' stone here. As much as I want to know the answers to the above questions, I'd rather not know them, if it means digging and ruining the graves.
Till there is a generation which respects ancient history... let these graves survive.
