How small one feels when confronted with the silent but inescapable forces of nature.Spooky place!
Since that time, the sand has been the only inhabitant of the town and it has almost completely devoured it. Some houses have been pillaged, but otherwise the sand, helped by strong winds which are almost always present, has advanced in all the houses. This offers spectacular views for modern day visitors. In some streets, it is possible to walk directly over the sand into the top floor. In other streets the sand has not yet come that high, but still entering the houses and seeing the sand dune formations in the bathrooms, living rooms and bedrooms offer strange sights. Even the casino and the theatre are now only occupied by desert sand.
