Michael's questions are great, in general. Ever been in notre dame cathedral in paris? We can say the answers to michael's questions there are the same, more or less, for any site that is famous on the tourist track. I can say I was taken to Oshogbo once, and it was lightly raining, only one other person besides my host was there, and it was truly magical.
But perhaps it doesn't qualify for the tourists as does notre dame.
For myself, I'd rather see a bad movie than visit any famous tourist site

Thanks for sharing this, Gloria. Two questions, and you may not yourself have an answer to them: I've always wondered if these monuments are the original ones constructed in the BCs or if a great deal of renovations have taken place to ensure they are still standing. Secondly, these tombs were once regarded as sacred, they may still be as such in some quarters, but in light of the heavy commercialization of the sites through the tourism industry, is there anything left outside the secular? Just thinking loud. Thanks a bunch.
Michael
