Informationen von Google Earth;"The name of the site is misleading-there's no evidence of any royalty buried here. Rather, the site was the final resting place of about 100 Ptolemaic aristocrats who lived and died in Paphos beginning in the 3rd century BC. Early antiquarians dubbed the site the "Tombs of the Kings" due to the impressiveness of the tombs, and the name has stuck. he burial niches were looted of all artifacts long ago, but a powerful sense of stillness and mystery remains."
