Story
The Idyma Rock Tombs in the Ula district of Muğla are structures carved into the cliffs, marking the final resting places of the upper-class families who lived in the ancient Lycian region. Dating to the 4th century BC, these tombs form a kind of monumental architecture within the rock, with narrow corridors and deep sequences of chambers. The decorative column outlines and markings carved at the entrance of each tomb are signs of the social hierarchy and commercial power of ancient Anatolia. These sharp, distinct carvings made into the rock are a marvel of the specialized tools and geometric thinking that the ancient craftsmen held in their hands. If you visit early in the morning, you can watch up close the natural play of shadow across the rock face and trace every line cut thousands of years ago, taking in the artistry of ancient craftsmanship in fine detail.
