The entrance to Tyuony can be seen near where the people are standing.
This was the ONLY entrance into the central plaza.
This fact, plus a zig-zag pattern of post holes in the floor (discovered during excavation), strongly indicates that the builders were concerned with defense needs.
The people here probably used ladders to reach the rooftops of their homes, and when danger threatened would have pulled up the ladders after them.
