It does, ( www.arkeoatlas.com.tr ) but I think there's a problem with it.

These are paintings of the northern wall. On top are two animals sitting face to face. Since their heads are lost, it isn't known whether they are lions or sphynxes. Below them are four dancing warriors ( by their symmetrical poses and positions of their feet, it is decided that they are dancing, not fighting). Next is a frieze with three chariots and two men (the rest of the painting is lost). On the next frieze, there are six winged bulls and what seems to be an animal hunting scene. The last scene might depict either an audience or a meeting scene.
Quote:what are the hoplite-like warriors with the round shields?
I'm not sure, but IMO the dancing warriors might be Phrygians or Lykians. Compare with the now lost stele of Lykian warrior from Konya below. He is also armed with sickle sword and double-headed spear.
And below a bonus pic, a Lykian warrior from Kizilbel tumulus (From the same magazine
