Mactaris Numidian Tomb
Date Added: 25th Jun 2012
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Tunisia
Visited: Would like to visit
Mactaris Numidian Tomb submitted by AlexHunger on 26th Mar 2008. Large Numidian Megalithic tomb measuring 12 x 4.5 Meters next to Numidian-Roman City. South Side. It has 6 chambers all next to each other. The style is as if the locals had been influenced by Egyptian mastabas and French Allé Couverte and the odd Maltese temple.
The Numidian Megalithic tombs tend to begin in the 5th century BCE and end in the middle of the 2nd Century BCE.
As much of Mactaris has not been excavated from a 2 Meter layer of dirt, I suspect that there ight be a couple more of...
