See the Midas tumulus at the ancient city of Gordion
Polatlı · Ankara · Türkiye
Gordion's ‘Midas Mound’ has a surprising name: the tomb predates Midas's death and probably belonged to his father. If open, follow the tunnel to view the wooden burial chamber. Photograph from a permitted spot and remember the distinction between the name and the evidence.
