The tombs were found during excavations carried out at a construction site in Mugla's Milas town, the report said, adding that the excavations at the site were suspended after the discovery of the tombs.

At Mugla, a team led by Erol Ozen, director of Milas Museum, initiated an archeological study on the tombs whose covers were opened.
"According to preliminary studies, the chambered tombs which were constructed as sarcophaguses, date back to nearly 2,300 years ago. Numerous perfume bottles and a cup in which ashes of the deceased used to be put, were also discovered inside the tombs," said Ozen.
More detailed information regarding the artifacts would be given after the researches were completed at the site, Ozen added.
