1314 Hampi jigsaw - 4.jpg

This shows the Kings Royal baths, the intricate steps down to the water,
plus the system of open pipes that fed it from their water tanks.
The original builders must have worked from a detailed plan as there's evidence that the original stonemasons
marked each stone here with an identifier, presumably to help during the construction!

The whole site is criss-crossed with open pipes here and there are multiple water tanks.
This indicates a relatively advance civilsation, which planned their city layout and the needs of the population.
