Jedars, Ancient Berber mausoleums in Tiaret Province, Algeria
The Jedars comprise thirteen stone tombs built on two hills, featuring square bases ranging from 11 to 46 meters with pyramidal tops reaching 13 meters.
These sepulchral monuments, constructed between the 4th and 7th centuries, demonstrate the transition period from Roman influence to the rise of Romano-Berber kingdoms.
Latin inscriptions, stonecutters' marks, and Christian symbols within the structures indicate a mixture of Berber, Roman, and early Christian influences in the region.
The archaeological site stands 30 kilometers south of Tiaret city, with three tombs on Jabal Lakhdar and ten on Jabal Arawi mountain.
The construction utilized removable steps that concealed entrance passages to funerary chambers, incorporating stones repurposed from nearby ancient settlements.
