@travel_nature_clipz: 🇹🇷 Ancient City of Myra In Turkey’s Lycian region, you’ll find rock-cut tombs carved straight into cliffs over 2,000 years ago. The Lycians believed the higher the tomb, the closer the soul was to heaven ⛰️ Nearby stands a Greco-Roman theater from the 2nd century AD that once held around 10,000 people. The name “Myra” is linked to myrrh resin traded here. And in the 4th century, Bishop Nicholas of Myra - the real-life inspiration for Santa Claus - served in this city 🎅
