recently discovered? When?

The words "recently discovered" are too loaded. Better answer the questino or delete it...Undead Herle King (talk) 18:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

What is the etymology/root word of Lycia? Badagnani 23:40, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lycia is the Greek toponym for people who in their inscriptions called themselves Trmmli, according to H.C. Melchert, Lycian Lexicon vol 2 of Lexica Anatolia 1993. From "The modern place-name of 'Dirmil', the excavators suggest that the Dirmil highlands, located at the upper end of the Xanthos river valley, were the ancestral homeland of the Lycians." I get this from Pedar W. Foss, Stanford University: Lycia; I would add it to "External links" but that a class of Wikipedians is currently passing through articles deleting such links, apparently without asessing their value first, so that one is loath to waste one's efforts in this particular way. --Wetman (talk) 02:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

looks like a greek history book, very subjective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.100.23.2 (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lycia or Caria?

Surely the rock tombs at Dalyan as picture twice on this page are actually Carian rather than Lycian?

Lycia=Lykia

I am not sure how to properly add this, so perhaps some more senior editor can help. The Greek spelling is Lykia (Lycia is the Roman spelling), but either way the region is pronounced with a "k" sound. Many sources now reference the region using the Greek spelling, so it should be added. FYI, even during Roman times, Greek language dominated in Asia Minor.
