The Midas Monument, also referred to as Yazılıkaya, is an impressive rock-cut facade situated in Eskişehir Province, Turkey, dating back to approximately the 7th or 6th century BC. Standing at 17 meters high, it features detailed geometric carvings and an Old Phrygian inscription honoring King Midas. Scholars believe it served as a sanctuary for the goddess Cybele rather than a burial site, with a niche designed for her statue. Located in the Phrygian Valley, this monument highlights the region’s significant historical and religious legacy, offering a valuable glimpse into ancient Phrygian culture.
