Experts views on the site
Shikar Aziz, a local archaeologist says:
“According to its amazing architecture, Srochik could date back a thousand years to the Sultan Muzafar era, its vaults, rooms, halls, interior decorations, and walls resemble those castles built ten centuries ago.”
On excavating the site Aziz says:
“There are so many international teams working in different locations, but Srochik needs immediate attention because it could collapse any day. And if it collapses, the job will be much harder and longer. It is better to start now.”[1]
Kamaran Hassan, a local historian says:
“It is a rare castle, but we know almost nothing about it, we need to start working on this unique site as soon as we can. We can discover things that no one can imagine.”[1]
