| Overview | The Upper Temenos served for the location and surround of the sanctuary of the Great Temple. The Upper Temenos stands at an elevation of approximately 884.41m — the same elevation as the base of the temple podium. The component parts of the Upper Temenos include the Temple Forecourt on the north, the East, West, and South Walkways which in width measure approximately 3.50 m (10.5 feet). Beyond the walkways and surrounding the structure there is approximately an additional eight meters (24 feet) before reaching the precinct perimeter walls. |
