Karmi. submitted by smallblueplanet : Karmi Bronze Age Cemetery. Near Girne in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Necropolis in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus . The necropolis of the village is thought to date from the Middle Bronze Age (c 1900-1625 BC). A number of the tomb chambers have been excavated (J. R. Stewart, "The Tomb of the Seafarer at Karmi in Cyprus," Opuscula Atheniensia 4(1962) 197-204); it is possible to enter some of the rock-cut chambers.


On the wall of an access passage of one tomb the relief of a female figure has survived. This is the earliest relief of a human figure discovered on the island so far. Also discovered in one of the tombs was a Minoan 'Kamares' cup and blue faience beads from Egypt, which suggest very early trading relations with Crete and Egypt.

The site is "yellow-sign"ed off the main Girne coastal road in the centre of Karaoglanoglu.
