Experts' Views on the Site
Shikar Aziz, a local archaeologist, states:
“Based on its impressive architecture, Srochik Castle may date back over a thousand years to the Sultan Muzafar era. Its vaults, rooms, halls, interior decorations, and walls resemble those found in castles built a millennium ago.”
Regarding the excavation of the site, Aziz adds:
“There are many international teams working in various locations, but Srochik urgently requires attention as it could collapse at any moment. If it does, restoration will become significantly more difficult and time-consuming. It's better to start now.”[1]
Kamaran Hassan, a local historian, comments:
“Srochik is a rare castle, but we know very little about it. We must begin work on this unique site as soon as possible to uncover discoveries that could be beyond imagination.”[1]
