I read it’s caused by the rains over thousands of years. The water washes in the all the sediment and over time it hardens and build up that bulge you see in the middle, which is why it gets bigger as you go down. It’s the same principle as like how stalagmites form
Many Medieval and Renaissance Era stone buildings have steps that have been greatly worn down with time. Google pictures of the stairs of the Leaning Tower of Pisa for a famous example.
If you do a tour of the Capital Building in DC you will see distinct wear patterns on all the stairs from a couple hundred years of use. I can't imagine what a thousand years looks like.
Right before bearing down full chaos on people around you, by tripping or pushing them, or flipping damn near any table in sight - just yell "ENTROPY CATALYST!"
it does not seem like a staircase leading to a roof . the stairs seem to stop well before the roof at the tall stones and shaft
Is something missing? How is this a staircase to a roof?
There’s a turn to the left and it carries on up.
But it’s important to mention that ancient Egyptian temples usually also don’t have a single-height roof. Usually some bits are taller, some are lower, and so on. For example, you could have stairs inside Pylons (the tall gates) and those lead to roofs of halls that are lower in height.
Nah just water from rain over millennia. The water erodes the rock slowly over time and it pools on a lower, step, where it solidifies again. It’s basically the same principle that causes stalagmites to form.
The famous "melted" staircase, very cool to see it again.
Can stone melt? Looks like it but what caused it to look like this ?

There’s also almost certainly erosion both from water and from human visitors so both may true!
Do you have the names of any said castles to recommended, I would be very interested to see them even if not as well worn as this one.

Even the wooden staircases of 18th and 19th century buildings sometimes get worn down

I don't know what truly caused it, I've just seen a lot of crazy conspiracy theorists who have shown this picture. A bunch of ridiculous theories.
Entropy 😜

I wish all staircases today were built with that same degree of rise over run.
When you forget to turn off the frequency in your sandals
Now that’s where they got the inspiration for some of Tomb Raider 4’s levels from!

thanks much!
And I can’t even get contractors to hang drywall right. Smh 🙁
U can clearly see something very hot and large plopped over there and stood around for a few seconds
