Ancient stone sarcophagus featuring weathered inscriptions, located in the Hierapolis necropolis, Turkey. The sarcophagus displays significant erosion, with a large hole evident in its structure. Carved Greek letters cover the surface, hinting at historical significance. Surrounded by wild grass, this artifact reflects the ancient burial practices of the region. The weathered stone appears gray with rough texture, indicative of its age and exposure to the elements over centuries. This site is a key part of Turkey's rich archaeological heritage.
