A: The interpretive trail was added during the renovation (see below - interpretive trail in yellow). Some roadways were built by Carraro, and others added during the Tovrea era. Some have developed casually as maintenance roads. The most frequently driven roads have been topped with decomposed granite for dust control.
A: Not much is known about the concrete foundation that supports the pyramid. In fact it was only uncovered in the last year by volunteers, including Phil Tovrea, who were working on the north platform. The specific use for the metal pipe is unknown - and further research will need to be done.
I'm confused. Phil3 had the pyramid built, right? So the platform that the pyramid sits on wasn't part of the construction of the pyramid?
ReplyDeleteI spoke to Roger again and he tells me that The story is that it was built as a final resting place for E.A. Tovrea, but the county wouldn't approve a permit for him to be buried there. He has only heard this verbally from family members, never seen anything in writing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... with that information, now I really do wonder about some sort of burial chamber underneath the recently uncovered platform.
