For Neil

One of the amazing sights we saw in Turkey was some Lycian rock tombs. We saw two sets - in Fethiye itself and on a boat trip we took from Dalyan. Most of these tombs date back to the period prior to the rule of Alexander the Great (4th Century B.C.). They almost resemble temples and are usually carved on slopes of mountains out of easy reach. At that time there was a strong belief in reincarnation so people were buried with servants and other goods to take to the after life.
