Hidden Kingdom of Myra | Rock-Cut Tombs, Roman Theatre & Lost Civilizations

Описание: What if I told you there is a city carved directly into the cliffs…
a place where Lycian kings were buried high above the ground,
where Roman crowds once filled a massive theatre,
and where centuries of civilizations layered history on top of each other?
Welcome to Myra Ancient City.
Located in modern-day Demre, Türkiye, Myra was one of the most powerful cities of the Lycian League. Its iconic rock-cut tombs dominate the landscape, carved directly into towering limestone cliffs — designed to bring the dead closer to the sky.
But Myra is more than just tombs.
🏛 In the Roman period, it became a major regional center.
🎭 Its grand theatre still stands as one of the best-preserved in Lycia.
⛪ In the Byzantine era, it became an important Christian city — and is associated with Saint Nicholas.
From Lycian kings to Roman governors, from early Christianity to medieval transitions — Myra carries the marks of empires.
This video takes you deep into the architecture, strategy, symbolism, and historical layers of one of Anatolia’s most fascinating ancient cities.
Watch closely.
Every stone tells a story.
