Description
Beghieh antique engraved woodprint 1887 illustration
This island is singularly composed of high granite hills rising amid fields of dhourra the huts of its few inhabitants are so built among ancient foundations and heaps of rubbish and ruined walls that no thorough investigation of antiquities could be made without demolishing these residences of to day It is a romantic and interesting place from the strong contrast of the rude masses of barren rock with the luxuriant vegetation around them and from the perfect quiet of the scene broken only by the indistinct noise of the water wheels like the sound of far off church bells
