Abstract
The study revealed that certain details and components were omitted at the Greek temple style rock-cut tombs in southeast Caria, concerning which there may be a possibility that these were omitted due to a planning decisions taking into consideration the viewer's line-of-sight from the ground, or the technical difficulties. The study also revealed that the proportions of the height of each of the components of the Greek Ionic temple style rock-cut tombs increase as they go upward, compared to the Vitruvius's them, suggesting that the proportions were adjusted taking into consideration the visual effects of viewing the tombs from the ground.
