THE ENTRANCE TO THE VALLEY OE ORTAKIEUI (SEE PAGE 328) 



FROM THE PLATEAU IS ARTIFICIAL, CONSISTING OE A 



ROADWAY EXCAVATED THROUGH THE 



RIM-ROCK OE THE BLUEF 



The roadway descends sharply. No doubt this roadway has grown in 

 depth as the valley itself grew in depth, for its beginning goes back to 

 at least 2,000 years before Christ. It is now much worn, and animals 

 find difficulty in getting down the slick and naked stone.
