The Storage Rooms of the Temple

The man measured the wall of the temple, and it was three meters thick. Storage rooms two meters wide were built against the outside of the wall. There were three levels of rooms, with 30 rooms on each level, and they rested on ledges that were attached to the temple walls, so that nothing was built into the walls. The walls of the temple were thicker at the bottom than at the top, which meant that the storage rooms on the top level were wider than those on the bottom level.[a] Steps led from the bottom level, through the middle level, and into the top level.
