Ivriz rock reliefs, Ancient rock carvings in Aydınkent, Turkey
The limestone relief measures 4.2 meters in height and 2.4 meters in width, featuring detailed carvings of human and divine figures in natural scale.
Created in the 8th century BC, the relief illustrates King Warpalawas greeting the storm-god Tarhunzas, demonstrating the power structure of Neo-Hittite civilization.
The relief incorporates Luwian hieroglyphic inscriptions and depicts agricultural symbols such as wheat stalks and grape clusters, representing the importance of fertility.
The archaeological site stands 17 kilometers southeast of Ereğli town in Konya Province, with regular transportation connections from regional centers.
During construction work in 1986, archaeologists discovered a bilingual stele with inscriptions in both Luwian hieroglyphs and Phoenician languages.
