Desert Ruins

The young woman regains consciousness with the sun already climbing into the sky.  The desert sands are already soaking up the heat.  In the distance she notices an anomaly.  A great broad slab of stone pointing into the sky.  It casts a long shadow across the dunes.  The shade it provides could be a life saver in this vast desert.  She starts making her way towards the stone.  It does not seem to be a natural structure.  It is shaped by intelligence and placed with care.  As she approaches she notices a second slab in the distance, then another.  Some have  fallen down or are broken.  In some cases there is only a hole where a slab used to be.  They form a circle, twelve great slabs in a huge circle.  In the center is a huge spire.  She suddenly recognizes what this structure imagining looking at it from a great distance.  It is a sun dial.
