The Valley and its heritage gained attention from Western scholars and archaeologists beginning in the 1800s. It is to William Ramsey, a Scottish archaeologist, that the monument’s association with Midas can be credited, who noted the name on an inscription at the site. The 20th century witnessed ongoing excavation campaigns, and a large survey in the 21st century has provided indications of further monuments in the environs. The Midas Monument itself dates to the 6th or 7th century BC and presents a large rock-carved façade with bas relief embellishments. An “entrance” suggests the presence of an inner chamber, but in reality leads only to a shallow niche, perhaps originally used to house a statue.
