Rock Cut Tomb in Tunisia

Necropolis of Punic Rock Cut tombs 500 Meters North West of Kerkouane. Probably dating to between 4th and 2nd Century BCE. The tombs were found in 1929 and pilaged by a madrasah teacher and his clients and only later taken under protection. There is now apparantly a roof over them to protect them from the elements and predation.
The tombs had painted walls, which are still extant. A statue of Astarte was found which is now in the Kerkouane Museum.
