Excellent, Erwin, there must be more to come, please.

The blending of Playmobil and the real world is great and beautifully photographed.  Keep on making it up as you go along, it's working very well.  The names of characters, again, are great fun.

The vegetation gets keeping denser, the footsoldiers must cut a path with their weapons...

I know what you mean, but I think you meant to write "The vegetation keeps getting denser..."

The Conquistadores look just the job.  I must admit they are very tempting with a view to creating English Civil War customs, but I'd better not go down that road!

Yes, you're right...I switched the verbs and didn't notice  :-[

After the scouts verified there are no hostile natives or alien abductors inside, Don Franco de Benidorm gives his men the order to enter the ruins. Though he burns from greed at the thought of possible treasure - and from the hot sun - he lets others go first.

They go through a short corridor, and arrive at an inner space.
All kinds of strange, creepy animals crawl around between the ancient stones...

The inner space has no ceiling, but is surrounded by walls and stretches further out exactly 0,863 Km. (since I was there anyway to shoot the pics, I measured it)
As the place looks totally abandonned, they decide to go further to explore...

They decide it couldn't possibly stand for VolksWagen.

But then...  some beams of the soon-setting-southern-sun reveal beneath it another, even more mysterious native(?) writing!  :omg:
