1.6 m wide, 12 m high and 500 m long. Near Patara[{GoogleMap location='36.266217, 29.317222' zoom='11'}], in the middle of nowhere rises a wall made of stone blocks weighing tons. It is at least 2200 years old and seems to be the work of Cyclops. In fact, it is an ancient aqueduct with a built-in penstock. Every individual tubing stone has a drilled hole of thirty centimetre in diameter. Each block weighs 800 kg.

1,6 m breit, 12 m hoch und 500 m lang. Mitten in der Wildnis nahe Patara[{GoogleMap location='36.266217, 29.317222' zoom='11'}] ragt eine Mauer aus tonnenschweren Steinblöcken empor. Sie ist mindestens 2200 Jahre alt und scheint das Werk von Zyklopen zu sein. Tatsächlich handelt es sich um ein antikes Aquädukt mit eingebauter Druckrohrleitung. Die einzelnen Rohrsteine sind mit einer dreißig Zentimeter durchmessenden Bohrung versehen. Jeder Block wiegt 800 kg.
