Abstract:
There are two Hittite monuments in Konya whose names are Eflatunpınar and Fasıllar. Eflatunpınar is located approximately 25 km at the North of Beysehir town within Konya province in Turkey. Eflatunpınar monument is belonging to Hittite Empire Age, was known since XIX century. It is an open air temple of Hittite, 6.60 m wide and 7 m high, was built with large block stones. The second one known as Fasıllar Hittite monument lies on a hillside next to the Fasıllar village which is 16 km east of Beysehir town and it is a high relief monument which is made of basalt rock. It is commonly accepted that these two monuments had never been completely finished. J. Mellaart have suggested that Fasıllar monument was not in-situ position, it was moved from Eflatunpınar to Fasıllar village by the local people for decoration purposes. This means that ac-cording to J. Mellaart, Fasıllar monument is the part of Eflatunpınar monument. The objective of this study is to investigate whether Fasıllar monument was built for placing on the top of Eflatunpınar monument which is firstly raised a subject by J. Mellaart. For this purpose, three-dimensional (3D) digital model was created for each monument by close-range photogrammetric technique. By the help of the 3D digital models of these monuments, the unity between the monuments were investigated as an engineering approach
