Ahlat 2006 09 0691.jpg

Turkey, Ahlat view map

In the back of the museum and stretching for hundreds of meters there is a huge graveyard, with another türbe or tomb, seemingly at its end, but in reality at the other side of a gully. I took lots of pictures there, but am unable to state anything about what's written on the, often partly toppled, stones. Some of them are taller then I am, making them some two meters or more.

Here you can see that türbe, I am almost there. In its back there turns out to be another türbe that seems to be half finished, or maybe never was intended to have an upper floor. This is the one.
