Al-Mnaykhrat

Also known as: المنيخرات

Al-Mnaykhrat or Mnechret is a late sixth-century BC Greek rock-tomb near Marj, in northeastern Libya [1]. The tomb is cut into a cliff on the west side of the Wadi Taybsillu, southeast of the city of Marj [1]. It is clearly visible across the surrounding plain and must have been built for a high-ranking individual, but there is no evidence regarding their identity [1]. The structure is dated to the late sixth century BC on stylistic grounds [1]. The tomb is about 2.15 metres above the ground level [1].
