Dr. While continuing under the presidency of Recai Karahan, the graves identified in the cemetery are of great interest.
Prof.Dr. Dr. Recai Karahan pointed out that Anatolian examples of stream tombs are rarely seen at Ahlat and stated: "Akıt is an underground cemetery with descriptions of Prof. Dr. Haluk Karamağaralı and Şerif Baygun, which are mentioned by people from the region and named, we can consider them as underground chamber tombs whose roots go back to the Pazirik kurganları in Altay but there is a difference between them and they face as the graves of the elderly according to tradition from the burial and burial of the dead In Anatolia we do not see the tradition of burial with such materials in the graveyard of Ahlat Seljuklu, whose samples are rarely seen here in Anatolia, but we found a lot of scaffolding.we found some funeral remains, bones and 15 skulls in the relic area, and we will try to send them to An kara and determine the causes of death. We try to protect others in our home. In this area of ​​210 thousand square meters, we found 178 piles. They came out after our underground studies and our goradar scans. Eleven of them have been restored and protected by the cooperation of the administration of the DAP and the Ministry of Culture. In our case, we opened 5 streams. The mysteries and secrets of poetry have not yet been solved.

Karahan stated that these burials were considered a continuation of Anatolian burials and underground tombs in Central Asia, "but we can not find Islamic methods." It is the continuation of a tradition that The graves were buried according to Islamic methods while the tombs were built according to a certain plan.The skulls and the funerary aspects show it.He continued to live in Ahlat as a continuation of the tombs. a tradition.Later he continued in Anatolian Seljuks and Ottomans in the form of kümbet and tomb.These cues represent the part of celadon we call crypt.Later he was placed at the top of a mosque, a soft mihrab that would mark the direction of kibble, and so on.One of these examples can be seen in the Emir Bayındır shrine at Ahlat.There is a similar cover system in s the mosque where we crypt underground, or from the burial. Here is the part of the door that you saw at the back, where after the funeral, a door is made when you leave and this door can be in a big stone. This is usually due to respect for the dead, as the doors are often folded to enter. The Buddha is rooted in an understanding of Islamic methods. We arrived at a knitted door here. He came firmly.

This architectural tomb, rarely seen in Anatolia, was introduced for the first time by A. Şerif Beygu1 and some examples have been uncovered by Haluk Karamağaralı. Five excavations of excavations were carried out with excavations from 2011, but it was determined that none of them could reach the earthquake. In excavations of the year 2018, the excavation ground north of the tomb was reached and the grave part of the tomb was removed. It is understood that the skeleton from the funeral is partially destroyed and buried according to Islamic funerary tradition. From this it is possible to say that these tombs, called akıt, are Muslim tombs belonging to Islam.

As a result of the work done, approximately 178 underground chamber tombs named as creek in the cemetery were identified. Today, only 14 of them have been searched in different years. With the exception of the two examples in the foreground, it is understood that the other examples were largely destroyed by nature or human destruction.
