I know it sounds like a trite cliche, but I've learned far more about myself from visiting sites than about the sites themselves. And they still keep pulling me.
I think that might well sum up the appeal of TMA for a number of others, too. Certainly me. It's the human element that's paramount for me, not individual site detail. These constructions were erected by anatomically modern people like us, with hopes and dreams perhaps mirroring ours - at least at a base level? - but who rather annoyingly didn't leave any other clues/indications of what they thought/felt behind for prosperity. Maybe this mystery epitomises the 'so where do I come from/what does life mean/where am going' conundrum some of us just can't help exploring... where better to contemplate such 'stuff' than at localised hot points, so to speak?
