New & long enuf. The article needs a bit of tidying - eg both BC and BCE dates are used (I'd go with whatever are more common in Sri Lanka). I'd say "that the rain pools at the "Lion Rock" fortress of
Sigiriya" or similar. Both hooks check out. The first is maybe better, & goes with the nice photo (but the caption is too long?). Earwig
finds only quotations. You should link to the DYK page for the QPQ, not the article, but QPQ is done.

Fixed link to the QPQ template, shortened elephant caption for first option, added quote marks and caps to second option, standardized dates in article to BCE/CE, did another copy edit pass. Thanks so much for talking a look!
