Lycian rock-cut tombs at Myra
No full textDated from the 5th century BC, the Lycian rock tombs are placed on the cliffs, reportedly painted in bright red, green and yellow colors yet these colors have been faded throughout the ages. As a typical example, Lycians’ funerary architecture can be found in places such as Myra and Amasia. The tombs are often carved into the cliff due to the funerary culture of the Lycians who believed that a mythical winged creature would carry them off into the afterlife. Tombs resemble the façade of Lycian houses with one or two levels, but sometimes even three, usually holding more than one body, most likely of people who were related to each other by blood. They decorated with reliefs.135 film (36×24 mm
