Perhaps it is not the afganistan, but these complex burial may have or have had a function similar to the planet level. Originally shared by Ancient Origins Hidden away in the #Hyblaean Mountains of Sicily lies a prehistoric cemetery called the Rocky Necropolis of #Pantalica.  Used during the late Bronze Age between the 13th and 7th century BC, it is a collection of cemeteries filled with thousands of #tombs cut into the walls of a canyon resembling a beehive.  Inhabited by various populations over the centuries, it was the center kingdom of the Sicels, one of the original #Sicilian peoples.  The necropolis is also situated on a place of great natural beauty with high cliffs overhanging a limestone ravine carved out over the millennia by rivers flowing in extremely narrow valleys.  This makes the necropolis something of a natural fortress and highly inaccessible to reach. http://buff.ly/2lLsy3g
