Hi Ancient Sites, I always watch your vids a few times before I post as there is so much info in them. The rock cut tombs at the beginning remind me of Petra in Jordan. I was in Rhodes a few years back and remember looking across the Mediterranean at Turkey (it was very close) and wondering what was over there. Watching these, I wish I had got on the ferry to see some of these amazing places. But you are showing them to us now so massive thanks. Anyway, happy new year Ancient Sites.

You are in a league all by yourself when it comes to the breadth of exploration, structure displaying, and historical explanations. For me that's a problem because it took me, as usual, several hours to get through all the details that I had to pause at to grab a screen capture (80!) Twenty five minutes becomes a whole evening. But I found what I thought that I might, namely a whole lot of evidence of casting and sculpting of stone concrete. You have no idea of how much significant detail went unnoticed. But I was surprised to discover the only explanation for the designs of those tombs: they were both carved and cast, -carved out of natural stone but having facades that were entirely cast or constructed of cast blocks containing embellishment moldings. Think about it; how did the tomb makers get out or in if the tombs had no doors? Easy, they made the front facade (using mostly reconstituted stone concrete) after they laid the deceased to rest. Sealed permanently... until would-be robbers broke out the 'doorway' walls. Anyway, it was quite entertaining to watch your many "off the beaten path" explorations...which is something rarely seen in archaeology videos. That's an enticing approach cuz one doesn't know what you might do next. :)

@@andanssas They probably did judging by the number of tombs created. Both skills would have been specialized and different. While carving, and chiseling was just brute force repetitive labor, the casting work had to be very precise and visually perfect. But... if the job was hired out to a family of tomb makers, then the members may have performed both roles interchangeably.

@Ancient Sites Well, I will present you the names of the ancient cities that Alexander the Great founded in Anatolia and the names of the places he visited. By the way, I am a history student at a university in the Black Sea region. Çanakkale (Abydos, Lapseki, Biga) Lapseki and Karabiga are colonies founded by Miletos. Alexander made a trip around here Çanakkale Granikos (Karasu) Halicarnassus (Bodum, Muğla): Alexander did not have a navy at that time. The siege that was spoken continued from the shores of Muğla Sea, one of its close relatives. Shipment of Fethiye Pınara by sea and land to Gordion, the capital of Phrygia He had come from a news from Halicarnassus (Bodrum) while Alexander was in Tarsus. Bodrum surrendered and the cities of Myndos and Kaunos, Thera (Yerkesik) and Calipolis (Kızılyaka) castles were all around us, but it could not be taken while there. Alexander's victory from Tarsus to the city of Issos took place here, here, and may continue into the Phoenician and Egyptian lands. Çanakkale(Abydos, Lapseki, Biga) Lapseki ve Karabiga),Granikos (Karasu) Halikarnas (Bodrum,Fethiye Muğla): Gordion,Ancra (Ankara,Polatlı) (Tarsus,Mersin) lycian way (Antalya) And Issus Ruins,(Hatay

​@@ancientsitesgirl your "choice of outfit" and keeping your shoes on while crossing were both very good decisions you made: an underwater sharp rock can easily cause a deep skin cut and severe bleeding, wet shoes are just a mere inconvenience. Your dress probably attracts a much wider audience than a tracksuit would, and minor cuts from common wild plants heal quickly.

Lycians were Proto-Greeks, and the name of the city comes from its founder, Lycaon, one of the oldest kings of Arcadia in Pelloponisos. In Greece, we still use words like Λύκειον, which stands for High School, because Lycaon was also the founder of the "Lykaion Athletic & Spiritual Games". These games are of course far more ancient than the famous Olympic Games. Thank you!

Presumably, one must have been of relatively high status to have a Necropolis built into a mountainside, & how long would it take to hew out such a structure ? Are their any written records ?
