Eflatunpınar Hittite monument
No full textBlack and white image of the Eflatunpınar monument, a close snapshot. Located about 22 km north of the town of Beyşehir, Eflatunpınar monument is dated to the second half of 13th century BC. It is formed as a roughly 34 by 30 meter rectangular pond fed with the waters from a nearby spring. The most outstanding feature is the high wall of reliefs built with large stone blocks that stand on the north edge of the pond and interestingly no inscriptions were found at the site. The stage of the relief altogether may be interpreted as a cosmic scene with heavens at the top and earth at the bottom, with gods and spirits holding the heavens in between. The façade of the monument is approximately 7 meters in length and 7 meters in height including the mountain gods at the base. The Storm God and the Sun Goddess with a huge winged sun-disks above each are centered in the scene. Around them are ten spirits or anthropomorphic creatures supporting the two winged sun disks above the gods. The base has five partially visible mountain gods. The central three of the mountain gods could be interpreted as mountain-spring gods with multiple spring holes on them. To the right and left of this facade are embedded couple of goddess figures. Eflatunpınar monument are some of the few examples of frontal portrayal of human forms in Hittite art of the Empire period.135 film (36×24 mm
