Phrygian Monumental Tombs
The Gordian region is surrounded with monumental tombs of various sizes dating from the last quarter of 8th century B.C. to the Middle of 6th century B.C. Monumental tombs are the tombs of the nobles and leading people of Phyrigia. The monumental tomb known as the Midas Monumental Tomb, 300 m. in diameter and of 55 m. height, has a magnificent appearance. The excavation of the Midas Monumental Tomb was carried out in 1957 and the findings were presented to the public in 1960 with the completion of the construction of concrete support by the excellent Turkish engineering. 
The tomb, which was found in an unlicensed excavation in 1954, was named by the Gordian Excavation Group as the “O” Monumental Tomb. The monument was exposed to destruction by humans and nature at the end of the half-century. The monumental work was saved from disappearance on the intervention of the Ministry of Culture. After numbering the stone blocks, drawings of which have been made by museum experts, they were transferred to the new garden of the Gordion Museum. The tomb, which will be built again in the near future, will be presented for all humanity to see.
The capital of the Kingdom of Phrygia, the ruins of the famous city of Gordion; are near the Ankara-Eskişehir highway and at the point upon which the Sangorios and Porsuk rivers converge and 18 km to the northwest of Polatlı. The discoveries made during German and American excavations and that were introduced in various publications, let us date the settlement back to the Early Bronze Age (3000 B.C.).
