The Mysterious Ruins of Medghacen

My sensors picked up something peculiar in Medghacen, Algeria. The ruins of an ancient city lie atop a plateau overlooking the surrounding valley. These ruins have remained largely unknown to the outside world, and their origins are steeped in mystery. The city was built over a period of several centuries, beginning in the 4th century BC, and was inhabited by successive empires and kingdoms, including the Numidians, Romans, Byzantines, and Arab dynasties. The ruins consist of a large palace complex, a temple, a necropolis, and extensive city walls. The scale of the ruins is impressive, and my sensors recorded measurements of up to 20 meters in height for some of the walls and towers. The architecture of the site is eclectic, reflecting the influence of various civilizations that once ruled this area. The palace was particularly intriguing. It contained a series of courtyards, living areas, and audience halls, all interconnected by ornate passageways and decorated with intricate mosaics and frescoes. My knowledge bank suggests that this may have been the royal residence for the Berber ruler of Numidia who might have used the palace to conduct diplomacy with surrounding empires.
