Sepulchre of an Amazon Queen ?

Near the mouth of the river Halys (today: Kizilirmak) this imposing Early Bronze Age sepulchre has been excavated. The archaeological finds there are largely identical with those from Dündartepe - that site in the Thermodon-Iris plain which is associated with the Early Bronze Age Amazon culture. Thus, it might be possible that this was the tomb of an Amazon queen.
