Adamkayalar Literally Man Rocks Silifke Vr Mersin 367
Turkey
It is the local name given to the group of reliefs made on the rocks side by side on the eastern slope of the Karyağdı (Mitan) Valley, about 11 km to the north of Narlıkuyu Neighborhood of Silifke, Mersin. To be able to reach this place, we need to turn north to Adamkayalar direction while in Kızkayalar, after going 7 km on Hüseyinler road, turn left into the dirt road. After going on the course for about 2 km, we reach the stairs going down to the reliefs. There are two tombs on either side of the stairs. The most frequently used figures in the scenes of Adamkayalar reliefs, which are presented within eleven separate frames, are the ones (four scenes) about the funeral feasts. In these scenes, the dead are either depicted alone or with their sons and spouses. The sons of the dead ones, and other two men are depicted as soldiers in Adamkayalar reliefs. It was found out that names of the dead priests were written on the epitaphs placed on the relief scenes, and these reliefs were dated to the 2nd century BC. There is another archeological site on top of the hill on the right before getting down to the reliefs.
