A2. I'm not sure at what point something gets designated as a historical site, but visiting/learning about what happened at the Killing Fields and Security Prison 21 in Cambodia was a very sobering experience, particularly because the genocide was so recent (in the 70s). #trlt

A3: Avebury, 5000+ years old. The largest stone circle, the largest prehistoric mound and one of the longest burial mounds in the British Isles; one of the largest settlements of the early Neolithic period; and one of the longest avenues of standing stones. @RTWBarefoot #TRLT

#trlt A3: at the end of May I was in the Orkney Islands and wandered close to some stone circles and sunken houses dating from the 3000s BC.

A3: The ‘sacred city’ of Choga Zanbil in Iran is an ancient Elamite complex dating from around 1340BC. Founded by the Elamite king as Elam’s religious centre and was home to several temples dedicated to the god Inshushinak. #TRLT

A3. This is not so ancient but it feels older than it is because it was there before all the western development in Hawaii. #trlt 🗺: https://t.co/tq8KO7OBwB

replying to @featherytravels #trlt So people who still live there now lived through it, and it still has a huge effect on the community. As a visitor, you have to be very considerate in the way you act and talk about it.

A3: How about Göbekli Tepe in Turkey? This is the world’s oldest religious sanctuary and has turned our idea of history upside down! While we once thought that agriculture led to civilisation, its intricately carved pillars suggest otherwise… #TRLT
