Anatolia's painted decorated tumulus tradition at 1 st millenium B.C.

The tomb is the basic element of the dead cult. These human-made tombs were deliberately positioned, perhaps as sacred places, as wouldbe apparent in natural landscapes. The tumuli are arranged like the house of the deceased because they believe in the next life after death. The rooms or the kline, table and walls in the room are decorated with decorations and colored. The paint-decorated tumuli in the BC 1st millennium give some information about the burial traditions of the time or the identity and the places of the deceased persons. However, these paint decorations, which have emerged from different traditions, also expand our perspective on the cultivation of societies. This sets the stage for us to draw conclusions on continuity and change, the meanings that come to us and the meaning of the added "tradition" in the derivation Keywords: Archeology, Tumulus, Anatolia, Burial, Painting, Decoration
