This is an overview of the Apollo temple at Didyma at current building
progress. The yellow dots on the columns are reference marks, not beer cans
left there by the builders, as a friend of mine suggested ;-)

Thats ok
That drawing shows all the parts of the building very good to understand the
structure
The columns I was talking, are the squared pillars integrated in the two
walls on each side of the external porch. I could'nt saw them in the
previous views.

Very very good
Archeological nice job

every day I can see that

I still have a couple of puzzles.
1) the shape of the roof is unclear. The real temple was never finished, but
I suppose that the roof was flat, not with a triangular front. I think this,
in particular, because of the courtyard open to the sky, where the shrine is
situated. Also, I have not seen (yet) any reconstructions contradicting this
view. Any ideas?
2) Two small tunnels slope downwards from the "pronaos" (i.e. the first part
of the temple, the reception area) to the "adyton" (i.e. the open
courtyard). On maps of the temple, and on both sides of the hall with the
two columns, there seem to be staircases also leading down. I have no idea
how both (tunnels and staircases) join together. Any ideas?

Alright! I have yet to make their capitals though. That depends on how I
shall build the ceiling and roof.

Very nice! This is a carefully composed site. I very much like its quiet,
informative way of showing things.
