Th. Bossert, his assistants Dr. Halet Çambel, Nihal Ongunsu and Muhibbe Darga, were accompanied by Bay Ali Riza Yalgin of the Direction of Antiquities from ankara), led us along the road over the Taurus pass connecting Kayseri with south-eastern Anatolia and North Syria over Gezbel, Saimbeyli, Feke, Kozan and Ceyhan. Our aim was to determine as far as possible, the anient Hittite road at the time of the new Hittite Empire. On our way we seized every opportunity of getting information from the inhabitants about possible Hittite monuments in the vicinity. In this way we collected a number of pieces of information which seemed worth while examining. Among others was a rumour about a supposedly Hittite lion-relief worked on the rock, somewhere in the mountainous region east of Kadirli. It being already very late in the season, we were unable to check this information right away and had to postpone the matter until next year.". This rare first preliminary report on Karatepe, that this discovery of a Hittite site and of an Old-Semitic inscription. Signed and inscribed by Bossert to Bahadir Alkim.
