Fasıllar Monument

A massive unfinished 13th-century BC Hittite monolith near Beyşehir, Konya Province, Turkey. The 8-metre-tall, 70-ton basalt relief depicts the Storm God standing atop a Mountain God flanked by two lions. Its proximity to the quarry suggests it was never transported to its intended destination, possibly Eflatun Pınar, 37 km away. Since 2012, the Fasıllar Regional Archaeological Project has investigated the monument's context and the ancient road network surrounding it. A replica stands in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.
