interesting, on good sources, Italian ref accepted AGF. Both hooks don't excite to me, one not,one too specific. What do you think about something like:
ALT2: ... that the
megalithic site of Hirebenkal(pictured), built over 2000 years ago, is with roughly 400 megalithic funerary monuments reported to be the largest
necropolis in South India? --

Can we please have an independent confirmation on the several new hook facts introduced in ALT2? I also think that hook could be more effective if it were less wordy; I strongly recommend deleting "with roughly 400 megalithic funerary monuments", which also solves a wording issue.

5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately sourced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT2 hook refs verified (first half) and AGF (second half of hook). I agree with
BlueMoonset that the middle phrase should be deleted in the interests of wordiness and hookiness. Here is the approved hook:
ALT3: ... that the
megalithic site of Hirebenkal(pictured), built over 2000 years ago, is reportedly the largest
necropolis in South India?
