İvriz Kaya Anıtı

The İvriz monuments are a group of Hittite monuments found in south-central Anatolia, located in the town of Aydınkent, formerly called İvriz (modern Turkey, Konya Province, about 17 km south-east of the modern town of Ereğli). The primary rock relief (İvriz 1), often known simply as the İvriz relie

f, is a rock relief on a rock face near the source of the İvriz Suyu, whose water has damaged the relief in modern times. It depicts the late 8th-century BC king Warpalawas and the storm-god Tarhunzas and is accompanied by a hieroglyphic Luwian inscription. Two further, uninscribed, reliefs were subsequently discovered. An inscribed stele (İvriz 2), also known as the İvriz stele, was found in 1986 containing both a Luwian inscription and a Phoenician inscription. One of the reliefs and the stele are in the Konya Ereğli Museum.
