Yumurtatepe Tumulus

Ancient burial tumulus located at Demetevler junction, yielding archaeological evidence from the Early Bronze Age and Phrygian periods.

Located at the Çiftlik-Demetevler crossroads in Yenimahalle, excavations conducted by the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations revealed an Early Bronze Age round architectural structure containing terracotta pottery and bronze artifacts.

The tumulus stands as vital physical proof of uninterrupted settlement and burial traditions in the Ankara basin since the 3rd millennium BC.
