Drone flight over Kocadağ

A short YouTube clip of a drone flight over Kocadağ showing the remains of the Lelegian Wall with one of the lime kilns that probably contributed to the wall’s demise.

It's only just over 4 minutes long but for those with a short attention span you can scroll forward to 3:25 for a close up of the wall

New page added The "Lelegian" Wall 

Apart from the obvious misnomer, as most academics seem to agree that it isn’t a Lelegian structure,  there seems to be no obvious purpose for wall which runs down the spine of the headland, Kocadağ. However we came across a paper presented at a seminar held at the Free University of Berlin in 2005 where Professor Mustafa Şahin of Uludağ University proposed that the wall may pre date Mausolus’ Myndos by several hundred years.
