    I wondered what would drive people to build like this? The Huns or other invading armies?
    I think I would break with tradition but then, CCP might not be any better.

    I really detest heights. The bottom of my stomach was falling out that entire video.

    It is amazing how people could even get to these cliffs to build their homes, and then get up and down from them after they were living there. These are in Peru.

    Steel ladders? I'll bet they were once wood. I suspect the villages were built to protect the inhabitants form marauders.

    Guess that is as close to their maker as they can get, plus a good possibility of meeting the maker sooner.
