There was a previous thread on the Roman-era chamber found in Blaundus, Turkey (See below). There has been a recent find of two ancient statues in the area of unclear origin. 

Quote

 

“The team had discovered two statues in the courtyard of the temple [dedicated to the Goddess Demeter] located in the center of the city. 

Can, who is leading the excavations, said one of the discovered statues was 185 centimeters (over 6 feet) tall with no head, while the other was missing its head, right arm, and both legs.“

As excavations continue at Blaundus, Turkey, new finds are being revealed. Here is the alter site of the goddess Demeter.
