The Pontic Kings Rock Tombs are ancient burial sites carved into the cliffs overlooking Amasya, Turkey. Dating back to the #Hellenistic period, these tombs belonged to the rulers of the Kingdom of #Pontus, who reigned between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE. The tombs, carved into the steep rock face, reflect the grandeur and power of the Pontic kings. Today, they are a major historical attraction, beautifully illuminated at night, adding to #Amasya’s breathtaking scenery.
