Kapilikaya Rock Tomb, Hellenistic rock-cut tomb near Çorum, Turkey.
The tomb features a cube-like structure carved into a mountain arm, with a platform and stairs leading to its entrance point.
Dating from the 2nd century BC, this burial chamber contains an inscription reading 'IKEZIOS' above its entrance, suggesting Greek influence in ancient Anatolia.
The architectural design of Kapilikaya shares characteristics with the Pontic Kings' tombs in Amasya, reflecting regional burial practices of noble individuals.
Located 27 kilometers north of Çorum along the Çorum-Laçin road, the site requires a car rental as public transportation options are limited.
The actual entrance to the burial chamber is through a small square opening measuring one meter in height, contrary to the larger false door carved into rock.
