A massive unfinished 13th-century BC Hittite monolith near Beyşehir, Konya Province, Turkey [1] [2]. The 8-metre-tall, 70-ton relief depicts the Storm God standing atop a Mountain God flanked by two lions [1] [2]. Since 2012, the Fasıllar Regional Archaeological Project has investigated the monument's context and the ancient road network surrounding it [2]. A replica stands in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara [1] [2].
