Wow! This is definitely the most unique of the 3 sites. I always enjoy exploring a necropolis. So peaceful 🕊

What a beautiful destination. The location of these tombs was so special, right by the sea. And to think that some of the tombs were carved straight into those amazing-looking rock formations! I probably would've missed that if went there myself, thanks for pointing that out!

It would be so hard to hide in such a place. i am glad that I don't have to hide in those tiny places.

8:38 It looks like they had a pool down there as well.

Wow. How fun to explore a place like this. We're going to have to take a visit here one day. Thanks for sharing.

I very much enjoyed watching this. What a fascinating place! There is not a doubt in my mind me and Kimberly could spend copious amounts of time wandering around here. We have yet to visit Cyprus, but your vlog makes for an excellent reminder to make sure we put the Tombs of the Kings on our activities list for that trip. Thanks for sharing! ~ Neil

Dropping this into my bucket list! Didn't realize Cyprus is this culturally/historically interesting. Great job, guys!

Love seeing two anthropologists who actually know what they are talking about show a historical site. Great video and very informative.
Keep up the great work. I think you guys would really dig Bagan in Myanmar.

Nice video! I've just come back from Paphos and had a great time exploring these tombs as well. I missed 6, 7 and 8, and wish I had researched the site more before I went, but I plan to go back again next year for a closer look and to take some more photos. I liked what you had to say about the votive shrines of tomb no 2. On one part of the site I came across what might have been a hornets nest. I could hear this buzzing sound. Needless to say, I didn't hang around!

[TakeOffWithTara]

Hey!!! I just subbed, I’m actually in Paphos right now!

[exploreitanyway]

I wonder how long did it took them to build such a massive tomb!
