So far, they've identified two temples, a theater, a public bath, a gymnasium, a basilica, city walls and a gate, aqueducts, a shrine dedicated to an ancient Greek or Roman hero known as a heroon, and the rock-cut chamber tombs.” Quote ”In 2018, when excavating one of the rock-cut chamber tombs, the archaeologists found human bones dating to the second to third centuries A.D. So, in 2021, the team focused on the necropolis. "As a result of this work, which has been dangerous at times, the documentation of approximately 400 rock-cut chamber tombs that can be noticed on the surface has been completed," Can said.” https://www.livescience.com/rock-cut-chamber-tombs-turkey https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailysabah.com/arts/1800-year-old-rock-tombs-found-in-turkeys-ancient-city-blaundus/news/amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailysabah.com/life/travel/the-ancient-city-of-blaundus-anatolias-stonehenge/ampI’m Edited February 2 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
