Number of courses of the wall

In the southern part of the wall, only one row is preserved above the floor level. In the northern part of the wall, four rows of ashlars are preserved today, but it is assumed that there were originally ten rows to reach the floor level, because of the large difference in height between the southern and northern façade of the Megaron ABCD.
