Summary

In 353 BCE, construction began on an elaborate structure meant to be the final resting place of Mausolus, a member of Persian royalty who ruled the small kingdom of Caria [Car-ia}. The immense temple-like tomb was built on a hill overlooking the city of Halicarnassus. While earthquakes would later destroy this grand monument in the 12th and 15th centuries, it earned the distinction of being considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and Mausolus’s name endured as the eponym for the tombs we now refer to as mausoleums. In this episode of Southern Gothic, we discuss what exactly a mausoleum is, the different styles of these tombs, and-- of course-- the most infamously haunted!
