The IG channel discover_civilizations says:

The Rock Tomb of Kapilikaya
The present day country of Turkey is home to many well-known megalithic sites such as Gobekli Tepe, Hattusha and Midas Kenti, but it is also home to a much lesser known yet equally impressive ancient site known as "Kapilikaya."
Located about 27 kilometers north of the city of Corum and hidden away inside a mountainous outcropping is an ancient structure known as the "Tomb of Kapilikaya."
[It] is thought to be a tomb of the Hellenistic period, dating back to approximately the 2nd century B.C.
Rising above a gentle stream that flows beneath on the forest floor, a steep trail winds up the left side of the rock outcropping and eventually leads to a platform of stairs located directly in front of the tomb.
The tomb is not simply a door shaped façade but is actually a cube shaped structure cut out of the mountain, only connecting to the natural rock around it at a few points.
From inside you can actually walk all the way around it or climb up onto its top.
The inner chamber of the tomb can only be accessed through entering a small square opening about halfway up the face of the structure.
An inscription above the entrance reads "IKEZIOS," 2 which some believe is attributed to an ancient commander named Ikezius.

When I was a Navy recruiter, this young man scored a 99 on the ASVAB, the classifier offered him Equipment Operator. He asked me if it was a good job and I said ‘heck, it’s the best’, of course I’m an EO, so what could I say? Oh yeah, he already had scholarship offers to USC, Clemson, UGA, GT, Furman and this was in the mid80s when college still meant something. You get the idea. He was a good kid, lost track of him.

102 take a cork along with you to the hardware store next time you go there, Ben Had, & find a pipe or tubing that wil make a reasonable sliding fit ... get a length of it , attach a ball valve to one end, connect to compressor tank ...
without going to find a cork & trial fitting it I would likely suggest starting with 3/4" nominal Schedule 40 pipe, or 3/4 rigid copper tube

111 I mentioned I was recording and partially watching the 1958 Carry On, Sergeant movie this morning because it showed the actors really firing and assembling a Bren gun and using Enfield No.4 rifles at a real National Service army base, including a few real recruits too.

It had an ending you'd not see today -- fine the worst platoon in the unit shaped up and won the 'Best Platoon' award at the end of training but they also showed the guys helping each other, the squad's worst non-comical soldier not only completes the training course well but volunteers for the regular army; and the squad bought their Company Sergeant, who was retiring with the platoon being his last one trained, a fancy cigarette lighter with a note thanking him "from the Boys".

First in the series that was made just as a one-off film so it's a bit more serious than the later ones and less madcap. [No Sid James either!]
