Re: The Europa Barbarorum Wonders Project
hello.
I've got a few natural ones from my homeland of Khorasan:2thumbsup:
1-the Godmade Wall :
about a hundred kilometer from the city of mashad , there is a valley surrounded by small mountains, which have taken the shape of fort walls. the mountains are steep, with a kind of flat place on top, and overlook a vast distance of fertile plains. there is only one way into the city, and I think this will be a wonderful custom battle site:

this is the crossing:

and another picture:
Attachment 11605
as you can see, the mountains are sedimentary and tall enough to make the valley impenetrable. in fact, the most valuable jewels of the iranian treasure were held here for some years.
they can also be used in the campaign as an ideal place for a fort
I hope you liked this one.
there are a few more which I will add later

Now that is some spectacular sandstone!
how old are the rocks in the area?
Re: The Europa Barbarorum Wonders Project
I do not know, and I couldn't find much about them because resources about the mountain chain (the one thousand mosques) are rather scarce.
I do know however, mostly from an accidental discovery of some fossils (which I believe belonged to Mesozoic era or later), that the region was once underwater.
the mountain range is near the Iran-turkemani border, and a few hundred kilometers from the ancient city of Asaak.
but I can definetely say they are not older than 2.5 million years old.
it is said that Timur Leng made 14 failed assaults before he was able to conquer the city.
that is all info I have.
also, I have feeling it is too late to add wonders to the list. am I right?
cheers
