I explored this palace for hours with my buddies in 2003. It was pretty well looted .Just about everything that could be removed was. There were secret passage ways and cealings that looked solid from below but were sheer painted fabric that could be looked through from above, you could see the people below but they coldn't see you. I got a gold plated "P" trap from an onyx bidet that had been riped out of the floor and up ended. I still have it. I know it's gold plated. I'm a dental technician in civillian life and I know my gold.
