If I'm reading the image right, was the castle basically inside that tunnel?</i><br /><br />I wondered the same thing, as well as exactly how much of a tunnel this given the frequent use of the word `pass'. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Adrian_(tunnel)" rel="nofollow">somewhat incoherent Wikipedia page</a> and the pages it links to (I confess, I didn't read the Basque ones) suggest that (b) it really is a fully-enclosed tunnel, at least for part of the route, but that (a) the fortress that is known stood above the north entrance, so outside. That seems more likely to me as I'm not sure exactly how you distinguish a `castle' inside a hill from any other sort of cave dwelling. How do you fortify it, exactly? And so on. Still, maybe they've found something extra I haven't anticipated. I hope there's some English publication of the finds, or even Spanish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-79130659966788694982009-07-02T08:57:47.652-05:002009-07-02T08:57:47.652-05:00OK, corrected.OK, corrected.Dr. Richard Scott Nokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348275071082514870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13713642.post-63054410123274612592009-07-02T08:41:06.662-05:002009-07-02T08:41:06.662-05:00A Podcast of Ice and Fire is fan created and has n...A Podcast of Ice and Fire is fan created and has no affiliation with George R R Martin.daynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730283613543819133noreply@blogger.com
