A platform with a lone column, carrying a stork's nest, is locally known as the "uzun yuva" (high nest). After looting in 2010 researech has led to further research, and changed the attribution. It turned out to be part of complex at a mausoleum, for King Hekatomnos. As for the column "The Menandros Honor Column is a Corinthian column erected in the 1st century BC in the middle of the eastern edge of the podium. It is an independent structure from the tomb. It was built by Menandros, the grandson of Euthydemos, the famous speaker and people's leader of the city of Mylasa."
