Rock Cut Tomb in Tunisia

At least 12 Punic Rock Cut tombs 6 Km West of Kelibia. These probably belonged to either Kerkouane or Aspis, the predecessor punic name of Kelibia. Probably dating to between 4th and 2nd Century BCE.
The ombs had painted walls, which were covered by a 2200 year layer of soot.
