Summary
The image shows a large facade carved from natural sandstone, a material not known to contain asbestos. The assessment concludes that there is a zero percent probability of asbestos being present in the visible materials. Consequently, no asbestos-related sampling or analysis is recommended.
Object description
The image displays a monumental, ornate facade of a building carved directly into a sheer rock cliff. The material appears to be natural sandstone, characterized by its reddish-brown color and layered texture visible in the surrounding rock face. The ground in front of the structure is covered in sand.

Asbestos Assessment
The material in the photograph is identified as natural stone, consistent with sandstone rock formations. Based on visual characteristics and common knowledge, this structure is an ancient monument hewn from the surrounding geology, predating the industrial use of asbestos by centuries. The provided guidelines explicitly classify natural sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone, as materials that are not suspected to contain asbestos. There are no visible signs of modern building materials, insulation, panels, or other manufactured products that would typically be associated with asbestos content. Therefore, the structure itself is not considered an asbestos-containing material.
Recommended action
As the object is constructed from natural stone, a material not associated with asbestos, no further investigation or laboratory analysis for asbestos is required. The material can be considered safe from an asbestos perspective.
