Tiya ancient tomb

Hey all,
This is one ancient decorated tomb which dates back several hundereds of years.

Those are beautiful, Yisehaq! Nicely photographed as well.

Very neat. Is it a multiple burial do you know, or just multiple markers? any close ups of the carvings?

Very interesting subject matter. The colours are pretty intense too.

Nicely done Yisehaq. :)

Thank you JAS, Wicked Dark, Iggy and Casil.

Tiya is a UNESCO world heritage site. In these particular tomb more than 7 people are buried in a seated position behind these stelae. There are around 40 such stelae in one area.

I will process some more images and upload. The guide, I met there told me the symbols are not decrypted in detail yet. So, I took my pick to figure out one of the symbols as "Space shuttle". :laughing::wall-an:


He took my joke very seriously and explained to me that it is only a sword.
