Editor's Note
It is located 1.7 km north of Yazılıkaya village, on one of the rocks about 130 m off the Yazılıkaya-Çukurca road. The monument is named after the word "Areyastin" written in the Phrygian inscription on it (its nominative form is Areyastis; it is thought to be an epithet used for the mother goddess Matar, and some researchers have adopted the reading Arezastis). It is the best-preserved example of Phrygian monumental façades. Although first noticed by L. de Laborde in 1826, Texier was the first to make a detailed depiction and engraving of the monument, in 1834.
