Our major sites today were a huge tomb complex then later housing nextwork, and then the Phrygiman city that was #2 in the kingdom of King Midas (800-600BCE). The giant stone facade of the city still stands.

Tombs of the Rich and Not So Famous
It was Tomb Day again. Another museum to search for inscriptions, then a jaunt out to the filed. The first three attempts we made failed.....too tough roads and too little a car. A little Renault with low clear nece could not get some of he he places we needed to be. We did, however, manage a few dirt and rock and rough roads. I was driving again today and I leave no stone unturned. Or struck. We did fins"ly get to a valley with several sets of tombs dating from 300-30 BCE and then generally reused as homes in the Byzantine Pewriod (325-670CE). We generally went as far as the car could safely make it then trudged the remaining distance, across fields and weeds...
