Thanks for your patience and understanding gentlemen!
This body of water is not worth sailing to war on,
But in war it would be worth a thousand ships!

Uh... a well?
I suck at these things lol. I don't know anything about archaeological sites.
Is it in greece?
Thinking about 1,000 ships could it be a well at Troy.

But its a good way to learn, don't you think?
True.
I'm thinking maybe the bay of lepanto? OR maybe actium.

Looks like Greece, maybe the Peloponnese. Could it be a Mycenaean citadel? I'll go for Mycenae (although I don't remember seeing a well like that).
Well, Brian was on the right track, but the wrong side.
Duncan, yes, you are Spot on!
This well/cistern, is actually right outside the entrance to the stairs to the underground cistern,
IIRC, these pics are a few years old. There is another entrance through the citidel walls from the small courtyeard this well and the underground cistern entance are in, I guess an escape/sally port.

That really was a guess, Byron! I expected you to say that it was maybe Tiryns. (Hmm,
there's an idea ... ;-) )
Cool. I never would have guessed.

This column didn't always sit on an elephant's back. Where is it and what building did it (probably) come from?

It's looking familiar. Behind the Pantheon in Rome, if I remember correctly.
The obelisk probably from Egypt or transported by the Romans from there or from the Issis - Minerva temple that was somewhere near(guessing).

Quite correct -- well done! It's an Egyptian obelisk supposedly marking the general area of Domitian's Temple of Isis, behind the Pantheon in Rome.
It shouldn't be difficult.
What and where? I already posted something similar earlier this year.

Roman Wall in Emona/Ljubljana, Slovenia?

That must be right, as I remember standing next to Miha when he was making that pic.
