Observations:
- There were a few weeds in the area of the Lion Temple, and
significantly more in the area of the German excavation??, in front of
the Great Staircase

Suggestions:
- The inspection of the Panorama is mentioned twice in the file, while the
signs in the temple area are not mentioned at all. Please correct it.
- The pathways in the temple area require more attention and should be
cleaned
- Remove the phrase “erosion” and place it together with “inspecting
plaster on temple structure” in the file
- Remove the phrase ” vegetation” and “debris” and place it together
with ” Checking for weed removal” in the file.

Observations:
- There are no observations to report in the temple area, no weeds or burning activity.
- I would like to note that mortar will be applied between the stones on the staircase and in other areas soon.
- The panorama also requires repainting, as mentioned in the previous report, and some of the cement blocks forming the pathways need to be renewed as well.
- All of this work will be carried out after the completion of plastering on the protective systems in the palace area
