When you entered the actual place there was a wooden of a house which was about one meter in width and five netted in length.
Then we entered a cave with twelve rings which used to be used for a cow shed. The cave was a semicircle cut into the rock.
But I think the most interesting part was the defenses and cranes. First the cranes, the first crane worked in the exact same principal as a lift, lifting one barrel up as the weight and one barrel down as the counterweight.
The second crane was a human hamster wheel running in a certain way to pull things either up or down.
The defenses were made up of a huge crossbow, five cannons and one trebuchet. To operate a cannon you simply put the cannonball in plug your ears and light the fuse.when operating a trebuchet you load it get four people to pull on the on the back and you will have some rocks flying.
