Wow! That's one giant Thing if I ever saw one. Cool! Of course, making reference to the Addams Family and Thing.

[Babs]

Yikes, looks like The Thing from the Addams family.

Oh we went here, it was brilliant, don't remember any hand though!

Beautiful capture of this amazing place, I love the arches in the ceiling.

I have visited these cisterns too, but no hand. Did I miss it? Was it there? I don't know, but it was a long time ago! Fascinating place, and a nice capture.

Impressive shot of the architecture, but the hand looks a littleout of place!

What an interesting plae. The statue of the hand is interesting.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I've been in cisterns in Israel, but not as elegant as this- and no hands of course! Fascinating place!

Great shot - I think they figured in one of Dan Brown’s books
