Everyone Welcome!

Hey All~
I've missed my Where's Waldo thread and I thought that I'd start a new one and add on more questions with each round.

Rules are pretty easy..Please answer only ONE question per round and you get one chance to guess please so that others can have a go.

Ok....will post the first clue shortly! Hope you will enjoy this

Hugs, Liz

2) Why it was orginally abandoned: The city suffered a epidemic of small pox in the early 16th century. Some sources estimate that 50% of the population was decimated by the disease. Such a loss shook the belief system of the culture, sending the city into a civil war over who should rule next. Historians believe the city was abandoned because of the combined effects of the disease and war, maintaining the city had become costly and there was not enough man power to adequately do so.

Maybe? lol
