The kingdom dates back to the 8th century BC, about 2,800 years ago. It is called Tumulus T-26 and is located near the Midas Mound, which is believed to be the tomb of Midas’ father.
The cremated human remains are the oldest example of cremation in Gordian history. Many ancient artifacts were also found inside the tomb. In which bronze vessels, drinking vessels, bowls and even some objects still hanging on the walls with iron nails were found, representing royal invitation rituals or victory rituals.
