 | | Amrit's enigmatic cistern, in actual fact a beautiful fountain, nearly square, is presumed to date from the fifth and fourth centuries before Christ, though many consider it much older, the work of a long-vanished cult. |
 | | Amrit, singular and mysterious, virtually unlike anything else anywhere in the world, lies 8 kms. |
 | | Amrit was traditionally regarded as a cult site over a magical spring, with curative powers, and an adjacent necropolis for those who were not cured. |
