“Horse Rock,” Beyşehir, Konya Province, Anatolia, Turkey,

The Tomb of Lukuyanus from 2000 years ago, is dedicated to a beloved jockey who was likely buried in the “grave room”, a small chamber next to the horse relief with a columned entrance.

The grave room is devoid of remains now so we don’t know much about Lukuyanus other than what’s on the inscription: “Lukuyanus The Warrior, Died Before Getting Married. He is Our Hero.”

Since he died before marriage, he was likely a young man when he met his end, but he lived long enough and had enough success on the track to earn him dedicated fans who built him such a handsome and on-topic final resting place.

Fan-funded funerary monuments for sports heroes have proved rich sources of historical information before.

The monument is near the site of an ancient hippodrome in mountains that were sacred to the Hittites. The Romans may even have built a hippodrome on this spot to bless and be blessed by the Hittites’ holy hills.
