Apologies if this has been asked before, but what's the deal with the footings that look like excavated Roman columns? When did those go in? And why do they look all broken-off like that?

See androiduks photo Page 200, post #2986

They are piles for the foundation I am guessing (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that)

Seriously^ If they filled that hole to the top with water, I wonder what the total volume would be.
 
I don't think anything will ever shock me after seeing the hole at Aura in person.

And speaking of water, it looks as though they're having some water issues at the north end of the site. Did you notice if those pipes were for drying it up? I seem to recall someone mentioning that there is an underground river nearby or underneath.

Have they actually poured any concrete yet? No? Argh. This thing's getting cancelled! I can feel it in my bones! This project is one big city block-tease.
