This is the school. This was a cultural metropolis where people came to learn trades. The area was entered from above, at the Sun Gate. Then visitors passed through the watch tower. Religious areas seem to have been restricted to some extent, and were built in the high-style with the large boulders linked together without mortar. Noble people lived just below this area. This view is of the education area - also built with the double jam doors, a symbol that makes this space holy as well. Below this area is where the general population lived. The school can be seen as the bridge to nobility, as higher education meant a rise in status.
