I returned this week from a 2 week trip to Hisaronu. My younger sister went, so we took her to see the dalyan tombs, which we had seen before. On both occassions i got different stories from the guides on how and why they were built.

The real true story would be nice if any member knows it or of a site that i could take a look at.

Thank you Janette

Yes i have 'googled' it but it actually doesnt tell me what i really want to know on the sites i looked at. However i will do another search ,see what i can come up with, there are 100's to choose from. Suppose i was just being lazy by not doin the search myself correctly, sorry!

Perhaps Janette thought it might be more interesting and informative to hear about them from Turkish people who know the history, rather than from Wikipedia?

To my regret I never went there, because I could not tolerate the heat in the same area. Your topic is interesting. I would suggest not to be lazy and try to do some research, as others have told you: Google.

Well that was the idea to hear it maybe from turkish people and maybe hear the variations in stories and myths about these tombs. Never mind theres always google to get it 'right'!

We saw the tombs last year, but apparently there a several myths about them. Some people seem to think they were made just for tourists in the 1980's but others say they have been there thousands of years and all the treasures they held have been plundered over the years. It is a shame that no one has posted you a response with their version.

The Tombs are Lycian. Lycia was especially famous for the Lycian League which was a network of city states that were quite democratic. There is book on Lycia by George E. Bean that while informative practically put me to sleep when I read a few years ago.

Here is a fairly good article on the tombs.

I visited them when driving from Antalya to Bursa. It was amazing! I was with a car full of Turks at the time and all they knew about them was that they were some type of tombs. I was able to walk right up and could have walked inside...but didn't...

When I got back I looked them up and found it was an amazing culture. It was one of the first democracies, in fact.
