The first recorded colonists in Bodrum part were the Carians and the seaport expanse was colonised by Dorian Greeks as of the 7th hundred BC. The city later fell under Persian ruler. Under the Persians, it was the capital urban center of the satrapy of Caria, the region that had since long represented its backwoods and of which it was the main interface.

The word "mausoleum" educes from the complex body part of this grave. It was a temple-like complex body part embellished with succors and statuary on a massive base. It stood for 1700 twelvemonths and was in the end ruined by earthquakes. (mention needed) Today only the groundworks and a few compositions of sculpture persist.
