    Default Layout or map of the Ancient Tomb compound?

    Has anyone ever found a map or layout diagram of the Ancient Tomb compound? Judging from what we see in RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES, the compound was built underground on Mt. Chung Nam, and was fairly large. There seemed to be numerous levels and chambers inside the tomb compound, although on the surface, all one could see was the igloo-like dome entrance (maybe the Ancient Tomb compound was the first-ever biodome).

    The compound has its curiosities. What kind of ventilation system did Central Divinity Wong Chung Yeung build into the compound? What did the compound's inhabitants do about temperature control. Was it extremely hot in there during the summer months? Extremely cold during the winter months?

    I thought that underground buildings tended to have moderate temperatures due to the ground insulating it from external temperature extremes. Back in the 80's there was a whole movement of sorts to build underground dwellings for the sake of conserving energy.

    What about dampness? How to prevent the compound from being too damp (and thus not too healthy)?

    perhaps on top of the structure,there was the panel that can absorb the sun energy. so with the energy absorbed, such machine, that can keep temperature stable at 18 - 25 C with certain level humidity, can be generated.

    How big is the Tomb anyway?

    And how did they get the waste out?
