The ancient ruined rock tombs of Kaunos

The ancient ruined rock tombs of Kaunos
A wonderful scene meets our eyes, on this boat trip as we round the corner.
These ancient ruined rock tombs of Kaunos near Dalyan date back to the 10th C BC.
Taken from the river Daylan Bogazi some 30 miles east of Marmaris, Turkey.

See PiPs. Best full screen

Herb .. most interesting pictures..it's incredible to see that this work was carried out so many years ago..the physical challenge of actually getting up there - and working for probably months / years on end... thanks for showing us this amazing history.... Cheers - David J'.

Glad you liked these David. They looked most incredible from our little boat on the reed river and were reminiscent of our trip to Petra in Jordan. As you say, how they did this was thought provoking. The skills and manpower must have been enormous -no doubt slave labour, in those days.

Best Wishes, Herb

Wow! Such an amazing sight................and captured in fantastic detail Herb. Very nicely composed too, especially from a moving boat!

The PiPs are very good too..........a cracking close up and one giving a wider context. Nice job my friend..!!

They have been there long time Toz. Perhaps you are right, things moved on before they finished maybe. Glad you liked the PiPs too.

Great images, Herb. Despite some damage,it's marvellous that they have lasted this well over the centuries.

Must agree with you there George. These, to me were similar to what we saw in Petra, Jordan.
