2,800-year-old royal tomb discovered near King Midas' home

The burial mound contained dozens of rare artefacts and cremated human bones of an elite individual from the ancient kingdom of Phrygia. “Based on these artefacts, we estimate that the person in the tomb chamber may be a member of the royal family associated with Gordion and Midas,” said Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, the Turkish minister of culture and tourism.
