Imam Kulu Hittite Rock Carving
When traveling from Develi district of Kayseri province towards Bakırdağı, after passing Bakırdağı, you should continue on the Tufanbeyli road. After passing Bakırdağı, a sign will direct you to İmam Kulu village. You can reach the rock carving by following the signs from within the village. You can drive within about 700 meters of the rock; the rest of the way must be walked. The monument features Hittite figures carved into a large (2 m) rock. Much information about the figures and their meanings can be found online. I am pleased that it has been preserved to this day. For those who wish to visit the rock carving in person, here is the exact location:
38 D 14′ 50” N
35 D 55′ 44” E
