    Do you like taking something cheap and transforming-it into something extraordinary? I do, because it's just so much fun. The way I feel when I've completed it, the way everything fits together when I'm making it, that feeling of pride in my own abilities! So here goes my first instructable: the pipe clock.

Materials: 

• A clock (make sure that the round, clear-plastic cover on the dock is about the same size as the pipe)
• PVC pipe
• Cardboard
• Spray paint
• Electrical tape
• An AA battery
• A battery holder
• Double-sided foam tape

Tools:

• Scissors
• An exacto knife
• A marker
• Rubbing alcohol

Instructions:

1. Make the clock cover.
   Remove the clear [1] ____ from the clock, and start wrapping the electrical tape around it. You need to do this so that you can get a nice fit between it and the PVC pipe. After that, cut off the tape, and check if it [2] ____ inside the pipe. If the cover is too loose inside De the pipe, then add some more tape, and if it doesn't fit into the pipe, then take some tape off. Once you're finished with the fitting, take the cover out, and cut off the [3] ____
2. Make the clock face and bottom cover.
   Trace [4] ____ both the same size as the -cover, onto a thin piece of cardboard, and cut them out. Make sure that they both fit tightly inside the pipe. Next, spray paint one cardboard circle black, and cut a "U" shaped tab in the other. The clock mechanism will be mounted onto the spray-painted cardboard to make the [5] ____. Meanwhile, the cardboard with the "U" tab in it is the lid that prevents the battery from [6] ____ . The "U1' tab is for pulling out the bottom cover for when you need to make adjustments to the clock.
3. Solder the battery bolder.
   Find the positive and negative wires connected to. the clock mechanism, and solder them to the [7] ____ . Usually, standard docks only need to run on one AA battery, but if you also want the alarm and LED function, then you will need two. To make things simple, we'll stick with the clock only version. At this point, you should test your clock to see if it works.
4. Put it all together.
   Puncture a hole through the center of the spray-painted piece of cardboard, then put a few pieces of double sided foam tape on the clock mechanism, and then attach them together. Next, mount the hands onto the [8] ____ and carefully place the battery, alarm, and LED (if your clock has one) into the pipe. After that's done, fit your clock into the PVC pipe, [9] ____ and push the cover tightly into the pipe. Make sure that you wipe the insides of the cover before. you put it in. Last but not least, push in the [10] ____ (the one with the U tab in it), and also make sure that it's nice and tight. You're done! 

    Finally, it depends on your creativity. You can try hanging it on the wall so that it looks like a pipe that came out of nowhere, or you can paste some stickers on it, so that it looks like it has been on a busy street.

Read the following text!

Kaunos: An Ancient City of Ruins and Rock Cut Tombs

    Outside the city walls like brilliant marquees along the Dalyan River are the Hellenic Kaunian rock-cut tombs. Dating back to the 5th through 2nd centuries BCE, the tombs showcase temple-like facades on the sheer cliff sides. Between dalyan and Kaunos there are more than 150 rock-cut tombs. Twenty of them have temple-type facades. Behind the facades are modest cut-out spaces of different sizes designed for housing the remains of families. The famous tombs facing the Dalyan River were undoubtedly for the elite. Few people say these are the Kaunosian kings’ tombs. Slabs of rocks served as doors to the inner chambers.

    Kaunos, once a bustling destination city that overlooked over two prosperous maritime ports, now lies in scattered ruins. It is now approximately eight kilometers from the sea. There are no longer governments battling over control of the city; once it proved barren, no longer capable of filling large coffers, it was forgotten. However, the work of archaeologists from across the world is revealing that today the real treasure lies in its magnificent history.

    Kaunos was once a thriving port city in Southwestern Anatolia near Dalyan, Turkey, between the Mediterranean and Aagean seas. Its ruins tell a tale of a rich and opulent history with its many archaeological structures and elegant Kaunian rock-cut tombs. Life in this port city dates back to the 10th century BCE. However, it was finally abandoned around 1500 CE. Today, the site reveals a multi-cultural tapestry of life that once occupied this area.

Where were the remains of families buried?
